Chapter 38

In the afternoon, most of the stalls in the farmers' market were covered with transparent plastic covers. Several stalls were empty one after another, and some fresh seafood stalls were still holding on.

The mantis shrimp brother took out the dead fish from the water tank and threw them into the trash can. He saw Gamber take off his greasy apron and glanced at the empty counter of the pork stall. He smiled: "Gamber, you are sold out again today. Will you sell it in the afternoon?"

"Selling, of course." Gamber washed his hands in a small bucket. His hair on both sides of the Mediterranean was already gray. After washing his hands, he stood up tremblingly and slowly took the rag on the counter to wipe his hands.

A pig was sold in the morning.

Gan Bo's face was full of smiles, "I have to sell another one in the afternoon."

The mantis shrimp brother picked up a fly and swatted the insects, "You are over 70 years old, and you are still risking your life like this?"

"You have to risk your life!" Gan Bo sighed.

He is already over 70 years old, and his wife died early. He doesn't know how many years he can live. Old friends of the same age have retired and are at home enjoying their old age, playing with their grandchildren. But he has to do it, and he has to do it.

"I understand. You can't help it." The eldest brother thought of Gamber's son and advised, "It's not okay for Ah Si to continue like this. How can a person not socialize? Once you leave, he will isolate himself again. It will be even more difficult for him to start a family and a career." "It's

impossible. How can he start a family and a career with the state he is in? What girl would like him?" Gamber waved his hands. "There's really no other way. The relief funds from Hong Kong can help. I just want to save more money now. Otherwise, one day I will be lying in bed unable to move. That would be like crying out to the sky and the earth for help."

"Again." The eldest brother thought of the terrible scars on half of Zhu Si's face and felt panic. "I can't help being scared, let alone other girls. By the way, Gan Bo, what happened to Ah Si's injury?" When

Gan Bo heard the scars, he obviously hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "I was fighting with his mother in the living room, and I didn't notice Ah Si going to get hot soup."

Then, Zhu Si's body was destroyed by the hot soup.

There was a loud bang.

Zhu Si threw the cart to the ground, and the pig on the chopping board fell to the ground.

Gan Bo was shocked.

"Silly piglet, what are you doing!" Seeing that the pig was about to fall to the ground, Gan Bo anxiously held the pig, "Hurry up and move the pig onto the chopping board. How can you sell it if it gets dirty?"

"Money, money, money!" Zhu Si suddenly got furious. The scars on half of his face were squeezed together, making it even more terrifying. He pushed Gan Bo to the ground, "Silly piglet, silly piglet, you still call me by my nickname when you were a child! Even the kids outside know to make fun of me!"

"You only care about money all day long! Have you ever tried to care about me!"

Gan Bo also got anxious and angry. He was old and there was no way he could get a pig weighing more than 100 pounds onto the chopping board that was more than one meter high by himself.

Afraid that the pig would fall to the ground and get dirty, he hurried to move the pork. The big brother of the shrimp stall also came forward to help. The two worked together to move the pig to the chopping board.

"They made fun of you, so you scold them! You are so stupid, you only know how to lose your temper."

"I am stupid!" Zhu Si was furious, "If you hadn't made me like this, I wouldn't even dare to go out!"

"What does it have to do with me!" Gan Bo was emotional. The big brother of the shrimp stall was afraid that he would fall to the ground, so he hurried to support him, "It was your dead mother who heated the soup, you can blame her

if you want!" "I am in my seventies and eighties and I still have to make money. Isn't it for you?"

When Zhu Si was a few years old, he was drenched from head to toe by hot soup from the kitchen, causing skin damage. The old couple of the Gan family were in the living room at the time. After the incident, although Zhu Si was rushed to the hospital, the doctor said that skin grafting was needed immediately, otherwise the skin would be scarred in the future.

The couple was poor, so they did not choose skin grafting at the time. At that time, Gan Bo thought that the child was young and could still recover, but he did not expect the situation to be so serious.

It was not until Zhu Si was in the sixth grade that Gan's mother died in a car accident, and Gan Bo received compensation from the driver. Zhu Si said he wanted skin grafting, and his classmates were afraid of him. Skin grafting surgery requires taking skin from one's own body, and as age increases, the area of ​​scarred skin will also increase.

However, Gan Bo chose to use the money to go out and have a good time, on the grounds that Zhu Si did not have so much useless skin and skin grafting would be useless.

Zhu Si stared at Gan Bo with gloomy eyes. Gan Bo was frightened by the terrifying look and took two steps back. He sneered, "If you were not still useful, you would have gone to hell long ago."

"Don't pretend, don't act like you are working hard to make money for me. You know too well that you didn't fulfill your father's responsibilities when you were young. Aren't you afraid that I will ignore you when you are old and you will die without money?"

Zhu Si sneered, "You are right, so you'd better not get sick easily." As soon

as he finished speaking, the pretty girl selling vegetables hurried into the market and asked a few friends at the old stalls if they had seen her daughter.

The eldest brother quickly stopped her, "Why did you come to the market to look for your daughter? Isn't she at home?"

Sister Liang was so anxious that she was at a loss, "No, she resigned two days ago. I didn't see her yesterday. I thought she was looking for a job. I went out to sell vegetables in the early morning and thought she was in the room. I went home at noon today and found that she didn't go home at all."

"Don't worry." The eldest brother comforted her first, "A girl of this age won't run around. Maybe she went to an interview."

"Ah Zhen is very obedient. From childhood to adulthood, she has never stayed out overnight." Sister Liang was very anxious, "Even if she wants to go out to play, she will leave a text message. She won't disappear without saying a word."

"Dead." The old lady at another stall suddenly said, "There have been two cases of human slaying recently, and the victims were all women. Will Ah Zhen be okay?"

Zhu Si's expression suddenly became very strange. His furious face gradually calmed down. His scarred eyes were full of sarcasm, and a sneer hung at the corners of his mouth.

When Sister Liang recalled the bloody reports in the newspaper, she felt dizzy and the sky seemed to be falling.

"What should we do?" Sister Liang looked for her daughter in all the places she might go, but still couldn't find her. "If anything happens to Ah Zhen, I don't want to live anymore."

"Don't worry." The eldest brother was calmer. He remembered something. "By the way, wasn't the sugar water master outside very good at fortune-telling this morning? I heard that the really good masters can tell lost things, not to mention people."

"Do you want to go find Master Chu to tell your fortune first?"

Someone at the entrance of the corridor looked back and shouted.

"The master is still here, go quickly!"

Zhu Si did not participate in the chaos. He followed behind with a blank expression, pushing the cart.

Chu Yueqing put down the gossip newspaper and looked at Sister Liang who looked anxious. "Don't worry, tell me slowly if there is anything."

Soon, Sister Liang explained the whole story. After listening, Chu Yueqing asked for Ah Zhen's birth date and time, "The direction is north, towards Kowloon Tong."

There is still hope, but it is very dangerous, and her fate may be terminated at any time.

Ah Zhen is facing danger.

The more Chu Yueqing calculated, the more she felt that the situation was similar to the fate of the dead girl.

Suddenly -

the wooden wheel rolled on the concrete floor, making a sound. Someone came out of the corridor.

Chu Yueqing raised her eyes and saw Zhu Si passing by with a gloomy face pushing a cart, his eyes fixed on her.

The gloomy look was chilling.

She put down her calculating hand, and her cold eyes sank.

After Zhu Si left, she looked at Sister Liang, "Call the police immediately."

Night fell.

Zhu Si pushed the cart into the warehouse. Outside the low bungalow was a thatched house for raising pigs. Three piglets were grunting as they ate the leftovers in the trough.

Zhu Si looked at the pigs in the pigpen and showed a disgusted expression: "Eat, eat, eat. All they do is eat all day. Sooner or later, they will grow up and be eaten by humans!"

After saying that, he took the firewood beside and threw it at them.

The pigs were frightened and ran away, emitting a foul smell of feces.

Zhu Si took out a pig-killing knife from the pigpen, tore off the sealing film on it, and carried it into the warehouse next to it.

The warehouse was an airtight iron house filled with rice packed in snakeskin bags. Zhu Si moved the bags of rice piled in the middle with a gloomy face and opened the door of the abandoned washroom.

The girl's face was covered with tears, her hands and feet were tied, and a large piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth. The originally dark environment suddenly saw light, especially when she saw Zhu Si holding a pig-killing knife, she whimpered in fear.

The small light bulb emitted a faint light.

There was an iron wire stretched above the toilet, and there were two human skins placed there. The limbs were cut neatly, and they had been fucked after being dried for a long time.

The room was full of the smell of blood, and there was still human blood on the tiles on the wall.

Zhu Si took off the human skin, put his hand into the cut, and covered the scar with the skin, his eyes were crazy. He suddenly stretched the skin in front of the girl, smiling horribly.

"Ah Zhen, look, can my scar be invisible?"

Ah Zhen retreated in fear, shaking her head desperately and quickly retreated to the iron wall. She was so scared that her face turned pale. Zhu Si pulled off the big cloth.

She quickly begged for mercy.

"Stop it, it's not too late for you to stop now. Nowadays, medical technology is advanced, there must be a way to repair scars, don't do this!"

Zhu Si sneered: "Stop? How can I stop after I killed two people?"

Zhu Si stroked the human skin, his expression gradually became crazy, "It turns out that intact skin feels so good, but I didn't know it for decades."

Ah Zhen found a job yesterday, so she wanted to go to the vegetable market to find the pretty sister, but she met Zhu Si pushing a stall back home halfway, and someone was secretly talking about it.

Seeing that too many people had bad intentions, Ah Zhen went to help Zhu Si push the cart. When they arrived at Zhu Si's house, Zhu Si offered her a glass of water. When she woke up, she was tied up in a warehouse. There were human skins hanging in the room, one of which was still dripping with blood.

She was terrified.

She didn't understand why she had such an end when she was just kind-hearted.

"Zhu Si, I never laughed at you. Please let me go. If I die, my mother will be very worried." It would be fine if he

didn't mention his mother. Zhu Si was even more furious when he mentioned her. "Worried? You didn't go home the day before yesterday, and she only found out you were missing today. She is so irresponsible. She doesn't deserve to be a mother at all!"

Zhu Si squatted down and looked at Ah Zhen. "But it's okay."

His smile became more and more crazy. "Your skin is so beautiful, it deserves to be treasured."

Ah Zhen's pupils were enlarged countless times because of fear. The sound of screaming spread through the warehouse, and the next moment it was blocked again.

Zhu Si hung the two pieces of human skin again and went outside. After a few minutes, he came in with a tripod and a camera, set up the camera, and aimed it at Ah Zhen.

He slowly turned around to look for a whetstone.

Soon, the sound of sharpening a knife was heard.

Zhu Si closed his eyes and enjoyed it. He would take the most perfect human skin to the hospital when he found it.

He wanted to get a new human skin

and live a new life.
