I've heard this urban legend

Three months later.

In the scorching summer, a sports car was parked on the road outside the flea market. Because the road ahead was narrow and uneven, the car couldn’t drive in, so we had to stop the car and walk into the flea market on foot.

Birch Flea Market is one of the most historic flea markets in the city, and as other flea market renovations are completed, one or two words may be removed in the near future.

There are a lot of second-hand goods in the market, ranging from old furniture to old home appliances. Here, as long as you have patience and luck, you can often find good value for money.

In front of an inconspicuous shop in the market, he stopped, glanced at the old plaque of the shop, and read aloud: "Dazhi Thrift Shop."

The shop was very low, and he lowered his head slightly, opened the curtain and walked in, and among a pile of dilapidated sundries, he saw Xue Fei who was blowing on an electric fan and reading a picture book.

Xue Fei looked at him with a smile, "Qi Ming, your painting style doesn't match this place."

"What kind of painting style do I have?" Qi Ming glanced at the furnishings in the room, and said with a little disgust, "You want to be an ascetic."

Xue Fei shook the drawing book in his hand, ""Nezha Fighting Empress Shiji", the legendary comic book, I finally saw the real thing."

Qi Ming tugged on his collar, "Aren't you hot?"

Xue Fei gave up the seat next to him, "Come here and blow on the electric fan and it won't be hot."

Qi Ming sat beside him, grabbed the comic book in his hand, and flipped through it casually, "In the past, people's entertainment was really poor, and people could read such things with gusto."

"I think it's okay, it's very interesting." Xue Fei snatched the book back and continued to read, "By the way, why are you here? Don't you talk about flying around with your dad all day to build the square? "

"No matter how busy I am, I still have to find time to see my wife." Qi Ming put his hands on Xue Fei's shoulders and said with a smile. The developer has kindly built the Riverside Plaza, so there is no reason to disagree. The preparations are complete and construction can begin.”

Three months ago, Chiyangzi fought against the alligator, and because he killed the opponent with the blood of Zhang Shicheng's descendants, he was caught off guard, causing the alligator's vitality to be seriously injured.

Although the alligator was disposed of, they were afraid that other fairies would come out to take revenge, so the Qi family took this opportunity to continue building a sword to suppress the fairies in the water. Once completed, the fairies in the water would be completely cool.

"Great." Xue Fei recalled three months ago, feeling unreal, "Who would have imagined that animals could become spirits if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?"

Speaking of animals becoming spirits, Qi Ming thought of his own husky, "I went to see Feifei yesterday. I had a good time at the new owner's house. I have already forgotten about me. It didn't respond when I called it, but turned around in front of the new owner. ,ungrateful."

Although it bit Xue Fei because it was manipulated by others, it was understandable, but after all it bit someone, it felt awkward.

It happened that Wang Zhe's new girlfriend wanted a dog, so she gave it away.

Xue Fei thought to himself and hoped that the new owner would change its name, "It seems that Husky's IQ is not low, because a dog with a low IQ only recognizes one owner. It accepted the new owner so quickly, which shows that it is smart."

"It's too late for you to praise it now, and you've given them away." Qi Ming looked around the house and found that the second-hand goods were well organized, and couldn't help saying: "It seems that you are quite serious about your business, and you don't intend to keep it going for a long time. "

"The given coordinates show this flea market, so my dad must be here." Xue Fei said firmly: "Give me time, and I will definitely be able to find him."

The coordinates given by the mobile phone were this flea market, so he felt strange, knowing that his father disappeared abroad, and the place where he appeared turned out to be the flea market in this city.

But he can understand any magical place, even Kisaragi Station, he doesn't mind going there again, and it turns out to be a flea market, so down-to-earth.

However, with such a small area, Xue Fei believes in his ability, and it will be a matter of time before he finds his father.

In fact, three months ago, the first time he saw this coordinate, he ran here to check it, and searched almost every shop.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Therefore, Xue Fei used his savings to buy the next thrift shop that would be exchanged, and simply stationed in the market.

Moreover, he moved his residence to a community next to the flea market, and became the owner of a flea shop with all his heart.

Qi Ming said: "I have a suggestion, buy this piece of land, you can find it however you want, it doesn't matter if you dig three feet."

Xue Fei shook his head and vetoed it, "Once the move is made, the shops here will be closed and scattered, and there will be no way to find people. What if my dad loses his memory and does business here, and he leaves after the move. What should be done now is not to relocate.”

"That's right." Qi Ming thought for a while, "How about this, I'll contact a private hospital to give the operators of these stores and their families a free medical examination, so that their information will be obtained, which is convenient for screening."

Xue Fei thought about it for a while, and then said no, "Many people think this kind of physical examination is irregular and won't go for it. I'm afraid the people who go for it are the elderly."

"If there is anything irregular, the hospital is definitely qualified."

"I'm afraid of the matching degree of the organs to be tested. One night after the physical examination, the moon was dark and the wind was high. With a single sap, the kidneys disappeared." Xue Fei said: "Have you never heard of this kind of urban legend?"

"If you really have the money to be able to organize this kind of medical examination, why don't you go to a country where organ trading is legal and buy one. It seems that Iran is legal."

Another reason Xue Fei rejected Qi Ming's proposal was that he had already searched for it with a tracing guide. If his father was really in this market, he would definitely be found.

But the guide didn't respond. In a way, his dad wasn't here now.

But the coordinates of the mobile phone are displayed here again, which creates a contradiction.

Xue Fei couldn't figure it out for a while, but he believed in the guidance of the dark, and he would definitely gain something if he stayed in this flea market.

"Anyway, I have graduated now, and I have nothing to do. Running a shop in the second-hand goods market can be regarded as employment." Sometimes I am not afraid of time.

"But the environment is too bitter, install an air conditioner tomorrow."

"No, I've just integrated into this atmosphere and got along with the neighbors, so don't make me special." Xue Fei said: "The electric fan is fine."

Qi Ming understood Xue Fei's feelings for looking for his father, so he didn't insist anymore, "By the way, how is your business here? Did you lose money?"

Before Xue Fei could answer, he heard the sound of the door curtain, walked in a quiet woman, about the same age as Xue Fei and the others, and asked with a smile as soon as she came in: "Boss, do you have a paperweight here?"

"Yes, I'll take you there." Xue Fei raised an eyebrow at Qi Ming, got up and took the girl to see the paperweight.

He has about a dozen paperweights in stock, including bronze, glass, and hardwood. He took the woman to the display shelf and asked her to choose slowly. He returned to Qi Ming, "You see, Business is good."

Qi Ming said: "Well, I found that your fortune has always been good."

Xue Fei nodded, he agreed with this point, and then heard Qi Ming continue: "For example, I have dug up this big gold mine."

Xue Fei didn't want to answer his words, she turned her face away with a smile, and looked at the woman picking goods through the gap in the shelf.

This woman, he knows, lives upstairs where he lives now. However, the upstairs is often quite noisy, and she probably doesn't live alone.

Xue Fei didn't know that this woman looked familiar to him, but since she didn't get close, Xue Fei pretended that he didn't know her, and sold it at whatever price he wanted.

"Boss, how much is this?" She poked her head out and shook the bronze paperweight in her hand. It was a tiger-striped paperweight. The workmanship was not exquisite, but it was just an ordinary object.

Xue Fei glanced at the price and gave the price. The woman countered the price in half. Xue Fei tried his best to behave like a businessman, and said bitterly, "No, my purchase price is more than this amount. After rent, I still have to eat. Dress, and add another five dollars."

The woman hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay, I want this." She opened the wallet and gave Xue Fei a paper ticket, and left with the paperweight.

When she left, Qi Ming grinned, "You have to worry about such a piece of money, I really don't want you to get caught up in these trivial things."

"Eating with your hands, how can it be called trivial." Xue Fei retorted.

Seeing his serious expression, Qi Ming smiled and said, "You'd better rely on me to eat, let's go, I'll treat you, let's go and have a good meal."

"No, it's still early before closing time." Xue Fei said, "If I leave with you and a clue appears, wouldn't I have missed it?"

Qi Ming checked the time, "Then wait until you close."

He got up in the shop, wasting time, and suddenly saw a kerosene lamp, and asked strangely: "Can you sell this thing?"

"Ha, you don't understand this? Yesterday, two college students who were doing interior design already ordered them. Renovation is a very good decoration."

Qi Ming is very down-to-earth, "Anyway, I don't like old things. Even antiques, my dad's, I never want to take a second look. However, I have to pinch my nose to understand, after all, this topic was discussed at the dinner party. , can’t fail to speak.”

Xue Fei thought to himself, it seems that Qi Ming is not in a state of complete stocking, and his father has never relaxed his education on things that are useful to life.

At this time, two girls who looked like college students came in. Since they didn't say what they were looking for, they probably just wandered around. Xue Fei didn't pay much attention and let the two of them go for a stroll.

The two fell in love with a small waist drum placed on the shelf, but it was a pity that they were not tall enough, and Qi Ming happened to be nearby, so he helped them take it off.

The two seemed to be somewhat interested in this waist drum, and after playing with it for a while, they bought it.

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Why don't I stay and work as a shop assistant for you, just take care of food and lodging."

"Don't dare, I can't use it."

"As I said, it's fine to take care of food and lodging..." Qi Ming embraced him with both hands, and leaned slightly towards him, about to kiss him, at this moment, Qi Ming's cell phone rang, and the atmosphere disappeared instantly.

He took it out to have a look, and sighed: "It's really my own father, who knows how to ruin my good deeds." He answered directly: "Dad, your call is really timely, I am making out with Xue Fei."

Xue Fei thought in his heart, to be Qi Ming's father really must have a strong heart.

Qi Chengrong probably didn't know how to respond to his son's words, so he was silent for a while before saying: "There is a reception tonight, I want to take you there, by the way, if Xue Fei is willing, come too."

Xue Fei shook his head vigorously. If nothing serious happened, he would not leave the flea market and its vicinity.

"...Okay, I'll go back." Seeing that Xue Fei was unwilling and did not force him, Qi Ming chatted with his father for a few words, hung up the phone, and said reluctantly to Xue Fei: "It seems that I can't eat, so I will do it another day Come find you again."

The vengeful goblin was solved, Qi Ming also graduated, and started to get busy, Xue Fei expressed his understanding, "Go and get busy."

Qi Ming said: "At the end of the day, your father still hasn't found it. If he finds it, we can go along with each other."

"..." Xue Fei said: "You can sing by yourself first, I'm not in a hurry." Saying that, he sent him out the door and watched Qi Ming leave.

He saw Qi Ming was walking, and was suddenly bumped by an oncoming person. Seeing this, Xue Fei immediately went up to meet him, and bumped into this person again. I found that the mobile phone I touched just now was missing.

Xue Fei had already identified all the thieves nearby during his time at the second-hand goods market. He glared at the thieves with his mobile phone, and called Qi Ming to stop.

Hearing Xue Fei calling him, Qi Ming was puzzled when he saw him holding his mobile phone, and when he touched his body, the mobile phone was gone.

"Take care of your personal belongings." Xue Fei handed the phone to Qi Ming, "Especially seeing how well you are dressed, thieves are staring at you."

Qi Ming said in surprise: "How did you find out that I was stolen?"

"It's nothing, okay, take your phone and hurry up, don't let someone steal your car later." Xue Fei laughed.

Of course Qi Ming refused, and he got tired of it for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Xue Fei watched Qi Ming leave the market before returning to the thrift store, sat down and continued to blow on the electric fan.

He was not in a good mood, because the process of helping Qi Ming get his phone back just now reminded him of his father. His father was the kind of person who was mixed up in the middle class. He taught Xue Fei how to identify thieves and other bad guys and how to protect himself since he was a child. .

"Dad... oh..."

Xue Fei sighed, and continued to look down at the comic book in his hand.

It's the end of another day, and the market is almost closed at night, and Xue Fei is one of the last to close the shop.

Leaving the store and returning to the rented community, there is a wall between the second-hand goods market, because it was built at the end of the last century, and there is no elevator, but fortunately, the floor is not high, only the eighth floor, so the absence of an elevator does not affect anything.

Xue Fei lives on the fifth floor. The house has two bedrooms and one living room. It is a bit shabby, but there is more than enough space for one person to live in.

When he walked to the door of his house and was about to open the door, he found a smoking bald man in his 50s standing at the corner of the stairs on the fifth and sixth floors, with a suitcase beside him.

Xue Fei glanced at him inadvertently, and he also looked at Xue Fei while he was smoking. The two looked at each other, but then they looked away from each other.

Xue Fei opened the door and walked into the house, turned on the air conditioner, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. While taking a shower, he vaguely heard noises outside, a man and a woman, and couldn't hear what they said.

Then the upstairs security door slammed shut.

Xue Fei thought to himself, it seems to be a relative of the woman who bought the paperweight.

-

After graduating from university, Guan Nan immediately went to Hairu City to join his younger brother Guan Ning. The two rented a two-bedroom house near the flea market. Although it was a bit far from the city, it was cheaper. In the city, no matter what, it is impossible to rent such a big house.

His younger brother, Guan Ning, didn't get into college, so he came out early to break into the society, and now he runs a noodle restaurant nearby. Guan Nan is a freelancer who draws illustrations and doesn't need to live in the city, as long as he has an internet connection.

When Guan Nan came to a new city, she was in a good mood every day and her schedule was reasonable. In addition to her normal work, she even found time to practice brush calligraphy recently, so she went to a thrift store to buy a paperweight.

She likes this tiger-print paperweight very much. The edges are rounded and smooth. She has experienced many owners, and these owners have stories.

But these good moods disappeared the moment he saw the man standing at the corner of the stairs.

Guan Nan said in horror, "Why are you... here?"

"That's the attitude when you see your father, Nannan, you graduated, why don't you tell your father, it's been so hard to find you."

Guan Nan's lips trembled, "How did you find this place?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she understood that it was her mother, and it must be her mother's leaked address. She repeatedly asked her not to tell her father, so why didn't she listen.

"My throat is about to smoke. Open the door quickly and let me drink a glass of water. I heard you live in 601."

Guan Nan froze in place, turned around and wanted to go downstairs, but his father grabbed his hair and said ruthlessly: "I am your father, where can you escape? Think your wings are hard enough to fly? Run and run again, I will post your nude photos all over the neighborhood, and send a copy to all your classmates and schools!"

Guan Nan stopped struggling. At this time, her father snatched her satchel, took out the key from it, opened the door, and pushed her daughter in.

The security door slammed shut.

...

Xue Fei came out after taking a shower, sat in the living room watching TV, and switched channels one by one. When he switched to the sports channel, he suddenly heard a bang from upstairs, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Xue Fei looked up at the roof of the shed, and thought helplessly, hey, is it okay to be a little bit moral.

Fortunately, there was only one sound, and everything returned to silence.

He continues to watch TV.

……

In room 601, Guan Nan was panting heavily. She was holding a paperweight in her hand, and along the paperweight, blood dripped down on the floor tiles, merging with the blood dripping from the top of her father's head in front of her.

It's over... The nightmare of more than ten years was ended by her own hands.

Since she was eight years old, whenever her mother worked the night shift, he would come into her room...

Later, when my younger brother grew up, he thought it was inconvenient at home, so sometimes he would take her out...

It was all over, though, and now she knew it all for herself.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the door opening, and before she could stop it, her younger brother Guan Ning opened the door and walked in. Seeing this scene, both parties were stunned. The dead body was dragged into the bathroom.

Guan Nan stumbled onto the sofa and threw the paperweight out of his hand in a panic.

The bloody paperweight rolled on the sofa, staining the sofa cover with some blood.

She calmed down and started to get scared. She twisted her skirt with her hands and gritted her teeth. Seeing her younger brother coming out of the bathroom, "...I, I'm going to surrender..." She was about to sit up.

"Sister, sit down, there's no need to sacrifice yourself for this old scumbag!" Guan Ning clenched her fists, "Sooner or later, one day, either you will do it or I will do it."

"But..." Guan Nan really didn't want to lose herself for this scumbag, she had to tell the whole past when she turned herself in, and she couldn't do it.

"No, but, leave this matter alone, I'll take care of it. And he's not our previous father. I had a blood transfusion operation last year, only to know that the blood type doesn't match him. I asked my mother, and my mother said that our biological father was born Died in a car accident, she took you and remarried a coworker while pregnant with me. Later, the adults kept telling us about it because they were afraid of getting married with their stepfather."

"Really?" She asked in a daze, at this time she was willing to believe it was true.

Guan Ning comforted her sister's trembling shoulders, then took out the earphones on the tea table, plugged them into her mobile phone, opened the music listening software, and handed them to her sister, "Listen to the music, don't think about anything."

Guan Nan took the earphones by accident, put them in her ears, and began to listen to the music. The cheerful dance music made her isolate the external sound.

She watched her brother walk into the bathroom again.

...

Xue Fei went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and heard the sound of water running upstairs, thinking, what's the matter, is the faucet broken?How much does it cost for water.

He yawned and went back to sleep.

...

Guan Nan woke up from the sofa and saw that the paperweight had been cleaned and there was no trace of blood on it.

I thought it should be cleaned by my brother.

But this is a murder weapon, no matter how clean it is, it cannot be left behind.

Just when she was thinking about this, her younger brother came out of the bathroom, "Sister, you are awake, you should go out and don't come back before noon."

Guan Nan nodded blankly, put the paperweight into his bag, and went out.

Going downstairs, Xue Fei, who happened to be going out, and the two met head to head. She immediately recognized this man as the owner of the grocery store. She panicked, but seeing that this man had no expression on her, it seemed that she didn't recognize her. , They did not recognize each other, and went downstairs silently.

She got on the bus, came to the river, and threw the paperweight into the river.

After doing all this, she felt extremely relaxed and took a big breath of fresh air.

When she returned home in the afternoon, she found that her brother was not there, and there was an extra large freezer at home.

She knew what was in the freezer, she looked at it coldly, and had no intention of opening it.

Suddenly, there was a message on the mobile phone. Seeing that it was her mother, she asked her: Have you heard from your father?I have been unable to reach him.

She frowned in disgust. Her mother tolerated this scum in every possible way. Later, because he hurt others and went to prison, the three of them lived a little better. With the support of her uncle, she finished college and thought she would start a new life, but This guy was released from prison, and his mother still never left him.

Guan Nan calmly typed a line: I don't know, he didn't come to my place, he has so many enemies and owes debts, so he doesn't know where to hide.

Her mother sent a message: Don't be so repulsive to your father, he actually likes you two siblings very much.

When Guan Nan saw the news, he suddenly laughed, and couldn't stop laughing until tears came out of his laughter.

...

Xue Fei collected an old inkstone and planned to put it next to the paperweight. When he walked to the shelf, he couldn't help being taken aback, "Isn't this sold?"

He remembered clearly that the paperweight was obviously sold yesterday, and the buyer was the female resident upstairs.

He doesn't remember that she ever came to return the goods, or walked in this door today.

Did he have two identical paperweights?Sell ​​one and have one left?

Xue Fei didn't think his memory was so bad that he would misremember the quantity, and second-hand goods were usually orphans, only one. He remembered this paperweight very clearly, only one.

He put down the inkstone, looked back at the paperweight three times a step at a time, but the paperweight just lay there, like other objects, silent and without any suspicious aspect.

So when it was time to close the store, Xue Fei closed up and went home as usual.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the phone ring, it wasn't the one on his body, it could only be the urban legend phone.

Xue Fei didn't even care to take off his shoes, he rushed into the house and took them out.

I was tired of it giving tasks too often before, but after it was silent for three months, Xue Fei actually missed it a little bit.

After all, if there is no task, there will be no reward, and now that the father's coordinates are available, but he still can't find anyone, he needs clues.

Xue Fei took it seriously, clicked on the software, and the familiar animation style came rushing to his face.

What came into view was a man in a chef's uniform, busy in the back kitchen.

Cut, cut, chop, chop, fry and fry in a pan.

Xue Fei watched intently, but soon discovered that the animation this time was almost like a noodle teaching video. It took 2 minutes to teach you how to make saozi with various knife techniques.

Finally, the glutinous rice dumplings were ready, and the noodles were soaked in cold water, and a line of words appeared on the screen: Human flesh glutinous rice noodles are finished.

"..." Xue Fei had mixed feelings in his heart. After reading it carefully twice, he was sure that he read the word "human flesh" correctly. It was indeed human flesh, not pork.

At this time, a dialog box pops up: Do you think the noodles with human flesh are scary?Please rate.

Five white stars appeared below for Xue Fei to choose.

Xue Fei didn't think it was scary. Before telling him that the ingredients were human flesh, he regarded it as normal saozi noodles.

So he picked one star.

After clicking submit, a dialog box popped up on the phone, which was densely packed with text.

Xue Fei has never seen a cell phone say such a thing, so he hastened to study it carefully.

See it says: wrong answer.In urban legends, the factor of human meat ingredients has always been inseparable. There are urban legends about human meat buns in various regions, such as the famous Xidan human meat buns, and film and television works such as: "Human Meat BBQ Pork Buns".

Without human flesh, there would be no rich and colorful urban legends. It can be said that human flesh ingredients are an important part of urban legends. Without its participation, urban legends will be greatly less fearful.

"..." Xue Fei raised his forehead, is this writing a thesis?Why did the painting style of this damn phone change again?Is it because the power is too high?

He said word by word: "I don't want to know this, the coordinates you gave, if I can't find my father, give me some hints."

The phone continued to display the text: Therefore, the human meat glutinous rice noodles definitely have more than one star, and the correct answer should be three stars.

"Okay, okay, I beg you, don't talk about this, can you give me some more hints?" Xue Fei pinched it and said earnestly.

The phone screen flashed, and a line of words popped up: Thank you for participating, see you next time.

Then the screen went black, Xue Fei clicked into the software again, and it still showed: Thank you for participating, see you next time.

Xue Fei threw the phone against the wall, and beat the bed twice in frustration.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. He got up and went to the peephole to look at the door. He saw the smoking bald man he saw in the stairwell yesterday standing outside the door, his face livid and expressionless.

"Is there a problem?"

"...I... want to buy that tiger pattern paperweight..." the other party said with difficulty.

Xue Fei couldn't figure it out, isn't this person a relative of the woman who bought the paperweight upstairs? Why did he still buy the paperweight? It's impossible to open the door, so he said coldly, "Let's talk about it in the store tomorrow."
