my old life

Chapter 196 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

When I left the room, my head was in a cold sweat, and I almost left the hotel as fast as I could, feeling that others were watching me along the way.

To be honest, I have never stolen anything from others since I was a child. At most, I went to the orchard to steal some fruit or something, and I couldn't help but feel guilty...

I don't know when the eight-faced ghost will find out, I don't know if he will chase it out, but I have no other way now, he doesn't teach me sincerely at all, when will I learn it in my life?
When I took a taxi back to the apartment, I was in a state of disquiet. I always felt that everyone was watching me. After entering the door and locked it, I looked through the window to make sure that no one was chasing me, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

I carefully hide the two masks, each mask has a separate packaging outside, it seems to be in good condition, hope I don't break it.

Hid the mask and immediately called the second uncle, such an important matter must be reported first, otherwise what if the eight-faced ghost gets angry and finds someone to beat me to death?
While waiting for the call to connect, I wiped my cold sweat several times. No wonder people say that I have a guilty conscience. This feeling is even more nervous than making money at the gambling table!
"Hey, is it bothering you to call me all day long!"

"Second Uncle, I got two masks, and I took them back secretly..." I said to myself, Second Uncle, please don't scold me, even though I know it's not good, but now I have taken them back.

"What!?" Second Uncle came to his senses immediately, I was jittery all over, and I had a very bad premonition in my heart, feeling that I really made a big mistake this time!

Since I was a child, my second uncle told me that being a man should be upright, and you must never do doggy things. That is not what a man should do, and it is also a disgraceful thing...

The second uncle lowered his voice and asked me very seriously: "Two masks? Are you sure they were made out of the eight-faced ghost's room?"

"Sure, he is in the room, and he taught me how to disguise, but I can't understand it at all. I have no choice but to take his mask away..."

I hope that my second uncle will never scold me, it was he who gave me this bad idea, otherwise, how could I do this?
"Good job! You really deserve to be my nephew, Xiong Jiudong, ah ha ha ha ha, it's so cool!" The second uncle went crazy, and I was instantly confused.

This is the first time I heard that people who steal things can still be praised. I was almost scared to death on the way back just now!
But I didn't dare to speak. I only heard that my second uncle was showing off to people on the phone. It didn't sound like I did something wrong, but on the contrary, I did something good.

I really don't know what Second Uncle thinks, if someone steals such a valuable thing and is found out, why not go crazy?If it were me, I would definitely beat the thief to death!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. The eight-faced ghost usually doesn't seem to talk much, but the dog that bites usually doesn't bark!Those boring gourds in my hometown who usually don't talk, once they get mad, they really dare to fight with them!
After a while, I asked cautiously, "Second Uncle, will something happen if I steal his mask? How about I send it back to him?"

"Give me a fart! Hide the mask for me, and say you won't return it to him, did you hear me!"

"Ah? What if he comes to your door? And is it a thief if you do this?"

"No poison, no husband! No matter what, you hide the mask for me, and don't give it to anyone who wants it, or I'll break your leg!"

"Fuck! Second uncle, what are you going to do?" I was at a loss. Originally, my original intention was to use the mask to threaten the eight-faced ghost to teach me the disguise technique, but I never thought of taking the mask as my own. !

Even if I replace the original mask back, I won't be able to get away with this beating, and the eight-faced ghost can't break one of my legs, right?
"Stop talking nonsense, this mask is precious, now wait for him to come to you, learn how to disguise and then give him the mask, but only one!"

"Why? If you don't return such a precious thing to him, why shouldn't he just kill me?"

Thinking about the millions of human skin masks, if I took two and returned one, and learned the disguise technique from others, I would be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!

"You stupid fork! Then you say you lost it or let me take it away, and let him ask me for money, and I will pay him back!"

When I heard this, I felt that the second uncle wanted to take the mask for himself!

"Second uncle, is it really okay to do this? Will something happen?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, put all the responsibility on Lao Tzu, just say that I let you do this, if he dares to make you go back, I will skin him!"

Unknowingly, I felt a lot more relaxed, but I always felt that it was not good to do this. Not only would I not be able to get on the stage, but it would be a bit despicable...

"Hang up, put away the mask for me, no matter what, I can't give it to you, or I will break your leg!"

"Oh oh, got it."

Before I hung up the phone, I could breathe a sigh of relief. There were already more than a dozen missed calls on the phone, all of which were from eight-faced ghosts. My heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Suddenly the phone rang again. I took the phone and tried to calm myself down a bit. I had to come sooner or later. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!

"Hey!" I tried to make my tone a little tougher, but I couldn't help but feel weak.

"Get the hell out of here and take back the things you shouldn't have taken away." Eight-faced ghost said coldly, I could feel his cold murderous aura through the phone.

"I, I didn't take anything...it's just two masks..." I was sweating with guilt, and I always felt guilty about stealing other people's things, and it didn't make any sense!

"Two masks... that's all?!" He was almost going crazy, and I could even hear him gnashing his teeth.

"Well, I, I actually just want to learn the disguise technique, but I really didn't understand it today..."

"Take my things if you don't understand!?" He almost yelled. I really can't imagine that a taciturn person like him can yell.

I was really speechless for a while, I knew that I would not be happy if I changed someone, if I were to go to him to learn the disguise technique now, it would be tantamount to courting death!

"Get the hell out of here now, if I don't see you before eight o'clock, you don't come." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving me any chance to explain or procrastinate.

I thought to myself, if it was after eight o'clock in the evening, would he really come and kill me?I haven't had time to move my second uncle out...

Lighting up a cigarette with a complicated mood, I thought about it and felt that I had to go tonight. If I didn't go, it would be really troublesome. If I go now, I might have a chance to explain clearly.

To be on the safe side, I put on a human-skin mask, let him extinguish the fire first, I guess it's useless for the second uncle to leave a mask...

Before seven o'clock, I took a taxi to the hotel. I felt unspeakably nervous. I just hoped that the eight-faced ghost would calm down and not look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Just don't do it on the spot!

After arriving at the hotel in less than half an hour, I dawdled in the corridor for a while. I was so nervous that I couldn't help sweating, but I knew in my heart that things couldn't be changed now, so I had to bite the bullet!

The door was ajar, I knocked on the door and there was no response, which made me even more nervous.

Walking in slowly, he was smoking on the sofa with a gloomy face. For some reason, his face seemed difficult to get along with.

"Brother, I'm here..." I stood at the door with a guilty conscience and dared not go in, for fear that he would suddenly bring out a knife or a pistol, and I would have to confess my life on the spot.

"Close the door and come in." His tone was calm, and I immediately closed the door and took out the mask and handed it over, lest he would do it later.

Looking at the mask, he said coldly: "You dare to take my mask, it's really not straight on the top and crooked on the bottom! Where is the other one?"

"Well, that one was taken away by my second uncle, he, he said that you would give it back to you after you taught me the disguise technique..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were extremely sharp as if they could penetrate my heart, my head was sweating non-stop, and I was about to take a shower.

"You kid doesn't want to give it?"

"I don't have it, my second uncle really took it away!" I tried my best to argue, but I knew that I couldn't pretend in front of him. He is a person who is good at pretending, so how could he not be able to see through people's hearts?
"How dare you plan on my mask, you and Xiong Jiudong are real uncles and nephews!" He said through gritted teeth, and I wondered if the second uncle had made plans before?
"Where's the other mask? Don't blame me for being rude if you don't take it out."

"Really, I'm really not here, but as long as you teach me the disguise technique, I'll get it back for you, I promise!"

"Xiong Jiudong told me this before, but he regretted it in the end!"

When I heard this, I wailed in my heart. No wonder he said that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. It turned out that the second uncle had done this too!
