C22 (1/2)
I was at the end of the street.
Furthermore, most of the cities' operations were already defunct. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tolerated such a stinky slaughterhouse nearby.
Therefore, for a person to suddenly pat my shoulder in such a sparsely populated place, it still gave me quite a fright.
I subconsciously spun in a circle and looked behind me.
At the start, I thought it was the soul of Butcher Liu who came looking for me, but when I turned my head, it was a cold zombie face.
Such a zombie face didn't scare me at all. Although his expression was dull, it gave me an indescribable feeling. It was as if there was a story between the two of us …
”Why is it you? You're scaring me to death.”
When I turned around, his eyes were staring straight at me like a tiger staring at its prey.
I don't know if I was scared or what, but I felt like there was a fawn running around in my heart.
”You're looking for me.” he asked coldly.
I only realized then that I was in a hurry because I wanted to find him. I didn't expect him to come out on his own.
I immediately nodded and said, ”That's right, that's right. I'm looking for you. Oh, that's not right. I'm looking for the black rooster.” ”I pointed to the chicken coop in his hand.”
He coldly looked at me without a hint of emotion on his face. His eyes were also unblinkingly looking at me. This kind of expression was indeed a bit scary. It had a kind of self-confidence that was not angered, and it even had a kind of majesty that was even stronger than my father's …
”Tell me how much it is. I want this dog and the black rooster.” I took out the stack of money my father had given me and pushed it towards him without counting.
However, this person didn't say how much it cost nor did he say if it was for sale. Instead, he asked me a strange question: ”You're exactly 18 years old this year?”
I started.
He continued, ”There's been some trouble in your family lately.”
I started again.
”You have an evil aura around you. It seems that you have been harassed by evil spirits. Furthermore, you have the Peach Blossom Calamity on your face. It seems that you are a pervert.” The zombie said.
At first, I had a good impression of him.
Although his facial expression wasn't very rich, the first impression he gave me was still pretty good.
But as he said this, I couldn't help but become more wary of him.
Although he was right, but that was it. The more I needed to be wary of him, the more cautious I had to be.
He frowned and said, ”Cut the crap, I only want your rooster and dog. You don't need to say anything else.”
I put the money in his pocket and wanted to take the rooster and the dog.
However, just as I took a step forward, that black dog suddenly barked at me like a madman.
This sudden scene scared me out of my wits. My heart started beating rapidly once again.
At the same time, I was also frightened and took a step back.
”What's your name?” he continued.
I shook my head. ”I won't tell you. Just give up.” ”No,” I said.
He is a person with cultivation experience, otherwise, he would not so easily say what happened to me in the past few days.
However, the questions he asked were the same as what Great Immortal Li asked me last time, and their speculations were the same as well.
It was very likely that he and Great Deity Li were of the same kind of people, or perhaps they had the same goal. It was not easy for us to send Great Immortal Li away, and we didn't want to offend any Great Immortal King or something like that.
”This rooster and black dog are very important to me. I gave you such an important thing, but you refused to even tell me its name. Do you think that's appropriate?” The zombie face argued.
I thought about it, what he said did make sense.
Furthermore, it was just a name, so it didn't seem like a big deal.
However, before that, I asked him, ”Is what you said true?” If I tell you my name, will you really give me the rooster? ”
Zombie didn't say anything, but nodded his head in acknowledgment.
I was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said, ”My name is Wang Xiaonian.”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the chicken coop in his hand.
Although we had agreed on it previously, when I took the chicken coop, I was still a little surprised. He seemed to really be as he said he would be. I said my name and gave the thing to me.
At the same time, I went to grab the little black dog in his other hand.
Only this time, he stood up high.
He was taller than me, even though I was barely 1.6m. Alright, with a height of 1.5 meters, he still looked like a person with dwarfism in front of him. The moment he raised his hand, the rope that was used to pull the dog was lifted by him.
I jumped to my feet and tried to take the rope off his hand, but I couldn't reach it.
