Chapter 22 The Yin Tattoo
Zhang said: “Every night at twelve, I would always see a ghost come out from my wife’s body no matter whether I was sleeping or stayed awake.”
“A ghost?” the presenter said suspiciously.
Zhang replied: “Yes…It was a ghost. She lay on my ear and said that if I didn’t accept any requirement of my wife, she would teach me a lesson. Then I just began to think that maybe that ghost was right…I was under great pressure every day and got worried that I couldn’t satisfy my wife anymore.”
“Why?” the presenter asked.
Zhang said: “During the past half month, my wife bought so many things .She spent millions only on bags…Some were one hundred thousand Yuan per each. Besides that there were clothes, gorgeous cars, and treasures. She cost me nearly twenty million Yuan in half a month.”
“Are you that rich?” The presenter didn’t believe it.
Zhang opened his hands, saying: “No…l just borrowed it. When I divorced my first wife, I lost 40% of the total property. Now I really don’t have too much money. I spent all of my cash flow and now I have already left my house and cars as pledges too.”
He said: “I have done so much, but my wife told me…’I have no use for someone as poor as a wretch’, so she wanted to leave me.
“I cannot live without her, so I killed her and covered myself with her skin. Then I felt much more comfortable.” Zhang said.
The presenter asked: “Why didn’t you let her go, since she had spent so much of your money? It must have been a good thing for you if she left.”
“I cannot leave her, or else I would have done it earlier. Actually I didn’t use to have this kind of feeling, but it came just half a month ago,” Zhang said.
The presenter asked again: “What happened half a month ago? Why couldn’t you leave her?”
“I don’t know. I just starting feeling that I couldn’t leave her ever since she got the tattoo on her back,” Zhang said helplessly.
…
Miao Weiwei died because she wanted to leave her husband, Mr. Zhang. Zhang got so angry that he killed her and removed her skin.
On that day, the police came to me for investigation and asked some questions since I had given the tattoo to Miao Weiwei.
But the police didn’t believe in Yin and Yang Tattoos, so they didn’t hassle me. They told me to make a statement for the record, then let me go.
I felt very sad. I didn’t expect that my first order of a Yin Tattoo would cause someone’s death. Though it was Miao Weiwei’s insatiable, greed nature…I still felt sad, as I felt that I shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
It was true…In my whole life, I hadn’t made great contributions, nor did I do bad things. Every time I rode on the bus, l always gave up my seat for the elderly. Now I couldn’t imagine…that I was involved in this death.
For this reason, I got the cigarette and the wine to turn to Liu the Sixth.
Sitting by the table, Liu the Sixth drank the Blue Sky liquor I brought and told me, saying: “Shui, for us in this field, it is unavoidable to have a relationship with human life, but…anyway…it was just a little…Let’s talk about the result. Well, if they want to have a Yin Tattoo, we have to comply…It is their choice, and they have to accept the consequences…We had given them all of the warnings…”
I just sighed.
Then Liu the Sixth continued: “Just be cool…For the matter of Miao Weiwei, she brought it upon herself. She shouldn’t have done it like that. She should have been ashamed of herself; she was as greedy as a wolf when she wanted to leave her husband. She has only herself to blame for her death; nobody else should be blamed.”
Hearing that, I felt much more comfortable. In any case, I shouldn’t do anything related to Yin Tattoos anymore.
Before my master died, he told me: “Don’t provoke Yin and Yang Tattoos, or else, you will be in big trouble.”
I didn’t know what on earth the trouble was…but…would it come?
Though I could earn a lot through Yin and Yang Tattoos, I didn’t do them so much.
I was there filling my head with nonsense, then Liu the Sixth took the wine glass and said: “Shui, dont worry about this. The Yang Tattoo was a good thing. As for the Yin Tattoo…usually, when you finish it, you wouldnt be in trouble unless you antagonized the ghost… In Miao Weiwei’s case, there was a female ghost warning her husband, Mr. Zhang–nothing would happen if he satisfied Miao Weiwei… However, Zhang couldn’t find any way to do it…That’s why this terrible thing happened.”
“So it is.” I nodded, and then a sudden thought came to my mind- how did Liu the Sixth know so much about Yin and Yang Tattoos?
Did he really have some hidden agenda?
I stared at him with some sense of defensiveness, seeing the trace of a strange smile on his face.
But I didn’t worry at all- I had the full volumes of Yin and Yang Tattoos; they were all in my mind and nobody could steal them from my mind unless I revealed them.
Thinking about this, I dropped the wine cup, told him that I had something else to do, and said goodbye to him.
Actually, I was afraid that I would have a big mouth and blab about the secret of the Yin and Yang Tattoos when I got drunk.
My master told me that the Yin and Yang Tattoos had always been transferred to the males in the family. I would feel very guilty before my master if I disclosed it.
…
Miao Weiwei’s story came to an end, but actually, she gave me some help.
Let’s talk about what happened half a month prior, on the second day after Miao Weiwei was given the ‘Invisible Connection’ Yin Tattoo.
That day, when I just got up, I got a message. I was thinking that it was too early in the day to do business, since I had just earned forty two thousand yesterday. I quickly picked up the phone but was stunned.
