Chapter 21: A Man Dressed in A Woman's Skin
Mimi
smiled and said, "This function, I am afraid you do not know it."
I told
Mimi to say it quickly.
In fact,
my heart was also tickled by Mimi. I was not perfectly familiar with the function of Yin and Yang
Tattoos, I only knew some of them.
Mimi
pointed to the tattoo on her chest,
"Do you know this tattoo can not only suppress ghosts, but can also make
money?”
“Oh, whydo
you say that?”I asked Mimi.
Mimi said
to me, "Yesterday I went back when I finished tattoo. At that time, my chest was very
painful and
I intended not to serve the guests. As a result, several guests specially chose
me. The last
one I really didn't want to serve, and as a consequence, he doubled the price
to force me to serve him. How can you say this is not fortune?”
"Your business
has always been very good." I said to Mimi.
Mimi
hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Brother, I am really
not joking with
you. Once, of course I was the number one in our shop, but now I am not. Our
shop had lots of girls from
Dongguan this year, and their skills are particularly good ... I can't compete
with them. My income now, in our shop, isn't even in the top five. Recently Zhang has been treating me
indifferently. Who’ll let me
not be the number one?”
"But
last night."Mimi smiled with pride, "Heehee,I am really not bragging,
but last night those guests chose me regretfully, and those harlots from
Dongguan were all very angry. You
say whether that was strange or not."
I
hurriedly nodded and thought
for a long time. I
said to Mimi, "In fact, a Yang Tattoo is a good thing. The effect
manifests lowly,
but ... All gains are
legitimate, they rely on the Yang
Tattoo to nourish the body, nourish your luck. You will
wait for the wealth later.”
"Hey, it's
true." Mimi nodded, and continued to let me ink her.
After inking
her, Mimi dressed, took out the phone from her pocket,
gave me ten thousand Yuan by Alipay and said, "I thought this Yin and Yang Tattoo
was not reliable yesterday, but now I see... It is really
incredible, so this ten thousand Yuan is the tip I give you."
"Alas!
Alas! You are a living Bodhisattva, and you give so much money to poor students
every month. How can I ask for your money?" I waved my hand.
Mimi
pushed me away and said, "Oh, brother, I can make money easily. Last
night, I got more than three thousand tips from the bosses. This money is
nothing. And if you don't take it, you’re just looking down on me as a prostitute.”
If she said it like
that, what could I
say? I said “thank you” to Mimi.
Mimi
said, "Next time I have a sister who wants a tattoo, I
will send her to you."
"Of
course, come on, I’ll give them a discount." I smiled and watched Mimi leave.
When Mimi
left, she was in a hurry. It was possible that when tattooing
the Yin and Yang Tattoo,
fortune also turned a little. Now
that business ensued, she had no time to chat with me.
When she
left, I was very happy.
I got thirty thousand Yuan in
a day, plus the twelve thousand Yuan that Mimi gave me yesterday. That was
forty-two thousand Yuan.
More than
forty thousand Yuan a day! Ever
since my shop opened, I have never had such a good time.
I hummed
and tidied up some of my tattooing tools, shut the door, and got ready to take
advantage of the early morning. I
went to the bank to transfer funds to my mother, to let my mother save and let my brother take her to
do kidney dialysis. I still had no
money for her to have a
kidney transplant, but doing a kidney dialysis postponed the illness, which was also
good.
In other
words, there are Alipay payments now, but I always felt it was more
reliable to transfer large payments via a bank.
At the
bank counter I did the formalities and gave my mother a phone call just to make
sure. After
reminding her to urge my brother to check the balance, I was ready to find a café to have a
meal.
I had
just left the bank
when I received a phone call.
The call
came from Miao Weiwei.
"Hello?
Is it Yu Shui?"Miao's voice was never so gentle.
I said “Yes,”
and asked her what happened.
Her
cheerful voice came from the microphone. She said,
"Ah, Yu Shui, your Yin and Yang Tattoo really works. My husband Zhang hasn’t
come back home in seven or eight days, but this afternoon he finally came back.
He also said a lot of honeyed words to me and said he would never leave me. I
am really happy, I haven't had this kind of happy feeling for a long time.
Letting a
mistress with a corrupted morality feel happy…I did not know if it was the luck
of the Yin and Yang Tattoo, or sad.
After
chatting with her, I hung up the phone.
After
this conversation, for the next half a month, Miao gave me a phone call every
night. On the phone, she always stressed how her husband
treated her well. He
was previously reluctant to buy things for her, but
now he was more amenable.
She was
very proud of her leather coats, worth hundreds of thousands, and her sports
cars, worth three or four million.
Miao said
that when she was wearing those luxurious clothes and driving a luxurious
sports car to attend her girlfriends' parties, she felt it was worth it to die
as long as she could see the jealous eyes of those girls.
However,
during the period, she also told me about the Yin and Yang Tattoo.
She asked
me, "Yu Shui, my husband is very talkative recently. Every night at 12
o'clock he says to me, "I have been so good to you, so let me go. The car,
the perfume, the bag, including that money you and your girlfriends lost in
Macao, it was all I borrowed. I really have no money."
“Then?” I
asked her.
She said,
"So I ask you, ah, what the hell is this?"
I shook
my head and said, "Now, Miao Weiwei, how did you make your husband so
poor? Does your husband borrow money to buy a car, perfume, or a bag for you?"
"I
don't know, I've been thinking about buying things ever since I got that
tattoo, I can't help it. During this time, I bought two cars, an Aston Martin and
a Porsche Cayenne. They were ninety percent new, a total of six or seven
million. I bought a lot of bags and countless clothes, I don't know how much it
cost," she said.
I sighed
and said: "Your husband, Zhang, is very miserable?"
I did not
think that the effect of the “Invisible Connection” of the Yin Tattoo would be so
obvious.
It's an
evil thing.
Making a man buy
something for a woman regardless of the price?
"Yes.
He has no money." Miao suddenly lowered her voice and said to me, "I
plan to find a rich man in a few days, and you can help me get another “Invisible
Connection”.
"That's
no good." I said to her, "The “invisible connection” of this yin Tattoo
can help you hold on to your
husband, but at the same time, it also lets your husband hold onto you. You two
people, just like that strange silk thread, both wear a thread. If you
find another man again... It... It's going to cause an
accident.”
"I
am not afraid of an accident. If
he has no money, I lose my face. I
must change men... I’ll just say, the next time I find you to do the Yin and
Yang Tattoo;
I’ll pay a hundred
thousand Yuan a pattern. If
you are willing to, just do it. If
you don't want to do it, I will find another master who will." After that,
she hung up the phone.
After I
received this call, I began
to dispute in my heart. If
I don’t do
this Yin and Yang Tattoo, Miao will go to find some other evil man to give her
a related Yin
Tattoo. If
I do it, in any case I won’t be cheating, I’ll just collect money. One is
willing to beat, and the other is willing to suffer.
Besides,
my mom's kidney was waiting
to be transplanted; could I manage
that so much?
I made up
my mind. If
Miao Weiwei came to me
to do “Invisible Connection” again, I would do it for her. A hundred
thousand Yuan…I had to earn
it.
I didn't
think more of it. Another seven or eight days later, I saw Miao Weiwei again,
not in reality, but in a news program on a local television station.
The
headline of the news program was “a man dressed in a woman's fur”.
I thought
the news was so scary and interesting that I looked at it carefully.
According
to the news announcer's introduction, a man, dressed in a woman's skin, went into the Public Security
Bureau, surrendered, and said he killed someone.
The man
was dressed in a woman's skin—this horrifying scene was not filmed by the
television station, but the announcer described a little bit with a statement.
It was
probably a woman
who had been cut open from the
chest.
However,
the whole woman’s skin had no other knife marks.
The man,
from the wound on the
woman's chest, shaved all of her flesh, and then put the
human skin on like a raincoat.
The news
camera zoomed in on the blurred-out skin.
I was very familiar
with this tattoo: itwas
the lower part of the “Invisible Connection” tattoo of Miao Weiwei.
The
woman's skin was hers.
A few
days earlier, she talked
to me and said she would like to find another rich man, and also to have me
give her a new tattoo to seduce another man togive her money.
As a
result, she died and was skinned by a man.
I saw the
skin and tattoo on her
back, and was scared
into a cold sweat. People
said Yin Tattoos were weird, but
this was really very weird.
I watched
the news carefully again.
In the
news, there was an interview in which a news anchor talked to that man in the
prison.
The man's
face was blurred out.
The man
was addressed as “Mr.
Zhang”.
In fact,
Miao Weiwei called her husband
Zhang.
"Hello.
I heard you were a successful private enterprise boss before you committed the
crime, right?” The anchor asked Zhang.
Zhang
gave a positive answer, "Yes, private enterprise boss. At its
peak, the flow of money may have been tens of millions. The business
was not too
big, not too small."
The anchor
asked again, "You killed your wife and stripped her skin. What kind
of thoughts did you have?"
"She
was going to
leave me, and I didn’t want
her to leave me," Zhang said again.
The anchor
shook his head and said, "You were very successful people, but because the
wife wanted to leave you, you had the
mind to murder
her?"
"In
fact, half a month ago, when my wife said she wanted to leave me, I wanted her
to leave, but in this past half a month I became infatuated
with her, but not
only infatuated. She
often frightened me, I also feared her." Zhang sounded very
miserable.
The anchor
did not understand, "According to your neighbor, you have never beaten
your wife, and your wife also cared for you. You being infatuated
with her I can understand, but why were you afraid of her?”
