Chapter 10 The New Ghost
I asked
Mimi about this.She felt so happy and told me that I couldn’t understand that
feeling at all.
“What
kind of feeling?”I asked.
Mimi
said: “You see, I was a prostitute and the customers always played with me, while
my boss, Mr. Zhang, treated me as atool forearning money.I felt so wronged as
they pointed or talked about us when we were on the street.To be honest, we
were earning the money with our body;it was actually hard-earned money.”
Then she
switched the conversation to some other subject and said: “But I would feel
different when I stayed with those children supported by me. They would write
to me and sincerelycall me ’Aunt’, they would show their awards, send metheir
school reports and invite me to their school, saying that they would put a red
scarf for me by themselves.”
She said:
“I liked this kind of feeling, to be respected, respected by the purest people
in the world.”
“Oh, as
you wish,” I agreed with what she said.
I always
thoughtMimi was only a popular prostitute, butnow I knew that she had principles
anda good heart. Thoughshe had her shortcoming, this would never stop me from
thinking she was a rather good person.
I was
chatting with Mimi while I was drawingthe tattoo.
Just as I
was about to finish, she cried out with a rather informal voice, her face
flushed.
I just
thought that, oh no, she might have been “excited” by the needle.
I hadmet
some customers, whowould feelincredible pleasure from the pain of the tattooing
process.
It was
just like the pleasure when men made love;it was not so strong at the
beginning, but it would explode when it reached a certain level that would send
one into a “high” state.
Now Mimi
was in astate of intoxication due to the pleasure ofthe needle, she was moaning.
"Oh...that's
cool...oh...come on...oh...yeah".
WhileMimiwas
shouting, l touched her skin, feeling that it was very tense, and it was flushed
red everywhere, and she was sweating as if herskin was covered with oil.It was
so wet iteven made me excited too.
She kept
rubbing her tights and flexed the soles of her feet.Well…it was a woman's
psychological reaction. But this was ‘wickedness’whichwould
offend the ghost, sol glanced at my Wu Sa.
Then l
found its corner was floating up even though there was no wind, and the
"half ghost" side appeared in the mirror. I immediately
thought it might be because the ghostly spirit didn't like Mimi's dissolute
behavior, and stopped this Yin and Yang Tattoo before it was complete.
But once
the ghost sprit stopped, something terrible might happen. This had never
happened to me before, but my master told me that the ghostly spirit would
always disturb me and the person who was given the tattoo, and never giveit up.
I had no
time to persuade Mimi and stop her shouting. Ilooked down and said to my feet
sincerely: “You are there now, my Lord.Please check and confirm that Mimi was
not offending you on purpose; she was too sensitive and caused this situation.
She isa good woman, she even supportspoor students. She was so kind-hearted, so
please forgive her.”
I was
speaking there and the garment corner dropped slowly after it floated for some
time, covering the mirror. Then l wiped away my cold sweat and finally felt
relieved.
At this
time, Mimi woke up from the pleasant condition.She knew she had gotten into trouble
hearing what l had just said.She asked: “Brother, did l... offend...it?”
"It's
ok; a kind-hearted girl wouldn't always have bad luck," l finished the
last ten-or-so linesand patted her belly: Ok, the base isfinished. For the dye,
l will get it tomorrow and you can come back after tomorrow. You will never be
disturbed by Xiao Bai's ghost after l complete the Yin and Yang Tattoo.
I needed
to get the dye for the red lotus Yakshafrom coffin soil and anew ghost;I hadto
get it from outside since I didn’t have it at the moment. Therefore, the
tattooingwould be delayed till the day after next.
Actually,the
artof Yin and Yang Tattooshad developed for hundreds of years, and it didn’t
use dead people’s blood for the dye anymore, which was also extended to more
types, such as the gods type, the ghosts type, the evil soul type, etc.
The red
lotus Yakshabelonged to the Yin and Yang Tattoos of the godstype, and this type
needed a“new soul”, or a recently deceased soul.
“So,
thank you so much. Well, my brother, how about a reward?Let me serve you all
night?”
“Just
wait till theYin and Yang Tattoo is finished.I’ve no interest today and even
got prettyscared”. It was also my first time to doing the tattoo.Just forget her;
I was nervous after all that happened.
“So canI
go to work now?” Mimi asked me.
I said,“Of
course!”Then got two tubes of anti-inflammatory cream from the house.I told her
to apply itover the tattooed skin to prevent infection.
“Thanks
my brother.So, what about the ten thousand for the tattoo?” Mimi tried to ask
me.
