Merchant of the Underworld

The little girl seemed to be manipulated by the woman in the mirror, and she bared her teeth at us viciously.

Li Mazi hurriedly rolled up his sleeves: "Grandma, take care of this little girl first..."

I shook my head: "The mirror is the key. Even if we subdue the little girl, the mirror is useless. What if it runs away while we subdue the little girl, that would be terrible."

Li Mazi asked anxiously: "What should we do?"

I thought about it and suddenly an idea came to me: "By the way, do you still have that little makeup mirror with you?"

"Of course." Li Mazi replied without thinking: "A man like me who pays attention to appearance should arrange his hair style anytime and anywhere."

As he spoke, he took out a small mirror.

I told Li Mazi and Zhao Wuyang: "You two work together to restrain the little girl, and I will deal with the mirror."

Li Mazi hummed, and he and Zhao Wuyang rushed towards the little girl.

The little girl hurriedly raised the mirror to block. I took advantage of this gap and pointed Li Mazi's mirror at the bronze mirror and looked at it.

As a result, the image in the bronze mirror was instantly reflected back. When Xia Yingchun saw herself in the mirror, she screamed in surprise: "Who is this...who is this! This is not me! This is not me!"

As soon as the bronze mirror dimmed, Xia Yingchun was scared away by herself.

By the time Zhao Wuyang carried the little girl on his back and Li Mazi and I returned to Wuyan Village holding the bronze mirror, it was already dawn. After a long night of hard work, everyone was exhausted.

But I know that if the bronze mirror is not solved as soon as possible, it will always be a trouble.

I told the village chief: "Put up the altar and ask the villagers to make four wooden figures and four clay figures. The uglier the better."

The village chief hurriedly explained.

I secretly pulled him aside and whispered a few words in the village chief's ear.

The village chief refused to agree at first, but then I pushed him into a hurry, and finally nodded reluctantly.

The altar was placed in the yard of Uncle Wang's house.

It's noon and the sun is extremely bright! I placed the bronze mirror covered with red cloth on the altar.

In addition to chickens, ducks, fish and other sacrifices, there were four wooden figures and four clay figures placed on the altar. Each of them was so ugly that even I was disgusted.

I decided to celebrate the summer and welcome the spring, but the ceremony was not held by me, but by the village chief’s Xiaomei.

When Xiaomei appeared in the yard of Uncle Wang's house, the crowds in the village who came to see the fun screamed in surprise.

"Oh my god, is this Xiaomei? She was a beauty when she was a child, how did she become like this?"

"It's so scary. How can such a girl have the nerve to go out and get her? What should I do if she scares people?"

The village elder blushed and handed Xiaomei to me in embarrassment.

Although Xiaomei was a little dazed, she was very obedient. According to my instructions, she first toasted three glasses of rice wine, and then poured chicken blood on the table.

The bronze mirror in the red cloth began to become restless, and even the altar table made a rattling sound.

The crowd fell silent completely, looking at the scene in front of them in amazement!

I walked behind the mirror and quickly pulled away the red cloth. The bronze mirror reflected the dazzling luster in the sun.

When Xiaomei's ugly, skinned face was reflected in the frame, the bronze mirror became visibly quiet.

But Xiaomei was a little nervous. She pointed at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

Since her accident, she hasn't looked in the mirror for decades.

So she herself knew that the beautiful little girl in the past had become like this.

Because she couldn't speak, she gestured anxiously.

The village elder stepped forward with tears streaming down his face, hugged Xiaomei tightly, and patted her back comfortingly: "It's okay, good girl, don't be afraid, dad is here, dad will always be here!"

Xiaomei's tears flowed out.

Seeing such a scene, the villagers were also a little sad.

I took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Xiaomei's experience is worthy of sympathy. She didn't have to come today, but for the safety of the entire Wuyan Village and to save the ghost in the mirror, she still came! So I hope Don't reject her because of her appearance, she is still the lovely Xiaomei you remember."

Hearing what I said, the kind-hearted aunt and aunt shed tears: "That's right, it's Xiaomei. I watched this girl grow up..."

"Village Chief, don't lock Xiaomei in the house alone in the future. Let her go out and walk around more. Maybe she will be able to speak slowly!"

Everyone started chatting, and the enthusiasm infected the village chief and Xiaomei, who hugged each other and cried.

I turned my head and looked directly at the bronze mirror.

I want to tell Xia Yingchun that there is darkness, cruelty, and depravity in this world, but there is also hope, family love, and a future...

You can’t just want to peel off everyone else’s face just because your own skin has been peeled off!

Even if you peel off Xiaomei's face, she will still have people who care and love her.

You are not Xiaomei, and Xiaomei is not you.

What happened to you will never happen to Xiaomei!

Perhaps Xia Yingchun was moved. I saw that the bronze mirror slowly turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming dull and full of patina.

I know, she is gone...

That night, all the villagers in Wuyan Village gathered in the yard of Uncle Wang's house, and several banquets were set up. Everyone exchanged glasses, and they were even happier than marrying a wife.

The resentment hanging over Wuyan Village finally disappeared.

Perhaps because I was drunk, it was almost noon when I got up the next day. I pushed Li Mazi awake, only to find that Zhao Wuyang was missing, and even his backpack had disappeared.

When I went out to inquire, I found out that this guy Zhao Wuyang had set out on the road early in the morning.

one person.

He told Uncle Wang that he wanted to see the scenery along the way, and then return to the city to continue working.

I'm quite happy for him. This guy finally has some sense of responsibility and can go out on his own.

When leaving with Li Mazi, the crazy girl seemed extremely reluctant to leave. She kept babbling at Li Mazi without knowing what she was talking about.

Li Mazi thought for a while and reluctantly gave the little mirror he cherished to the crazy girl.

Uncle Wang and the village chief sent it to the head of my village. I told them uneasily, "Just bury the mirror in a deserted grave. In the future, during the New Year and festivals, the village will send a few people to pay homage and express their feelings."

The village chief nodded and said gratefully: "Don't worry."

When I returned to the city, I continued my life of drunkenness and dreams. One night I saw a latest horror comic, which was also about a mirror that could peel off people's faces.

Although the story is bizarre, it is very bloody, and the paintings are not very scary.

At the end, I was surprised to find that the author who appeared at the end of the film was actually Zhang Qinghai.

Unexpectedly, before he died, this guy actually drew a small cartoon and posted it on NetEase Animation. I really couldn’t laugh or cry.

There are many comments under the comics.

Some people say that they are not good-looking either, and they especially hate those who are born beautiful.

Some people also say that now that plastic surgery technology is so advanced, if you feel dissatisfied, you can go to South Korea to have one done.

But I feel that looks are a gift given to you by God.

There are beautiful ways to live, and there are ugly ways to live. The key point is that we live happily.

Being happy is more important than anything else.

If you care too much about beauty and ugliness, you may lose a lot of fun in life.

I stretched out and looked at the sky that was lit up a little outside the window. A new day has come!
