Chapter Thirty-Nine: Buying Life Money

"Boss, how to sell jelly"

"Three pieces for a small bowl, five pieces for a large bowl"

"A big bowl"

"Okay, are you packing or eating here?"

"Let's Eat"

On the seventh day of setting up the stall, the same conversation appeared for the seventh time, and I still gave him a bowl of jelly, and then buried myself in my own business.

For seven days, he appeared once a day, and I didn't listen to it, pretending that I didn't know anything, and I gradually got used to this kind of stall life.

I am very satisfied with my current living situation, I do not delay my martial arts practice every day, I do not delay my morning and evening classes, and I also have a source of livelihood, not tired, not hard, not earning much, but it is enough for me to live.

Xu Lin doesn't see this person every day, sometimes he is very busy, so he doesn't know about it, and I won't tell him, so as not to frighten him.

"Boss, eat well, the money is on the table"

Ten minutes later, the man got up and left, and I went to clean up the table, poured out the whole bowl of cold powder, and put away the dark coins on the table.

After twelve o'clock, Xu Lin and I collected the stall, pushed the cart to Xu Lin's house, and then I walked home alone, Xu Lin's urban village and the community I lived in are only one street apart, but there is a road in the middle, you have to take the underpass, less than five minutes to walk.

At twelve o'clock in the underground passage, almost no one walked, I carried the rest of the things, walked in the underground passage, very quiet, at the corner of the passage above ground, a homeless man was lying there, heard footsteps, he picked up a stainless steel basin in front of him, knocked on the ground, and then picked up the basin and looked at me.

I felt in my pocket and pulled out three coins, which were paid for by the guest, and with a flick of my fingers, "Ding, Ding, Ding" the three coins fell into the homeless man's stainless steel basin with a crisp sound.

I walked around the corner and tried to get out of the underpass, but I saw that the street lights in front of me were completely extinguished, and it was gray, and I couldn't see anything.

I put what I was holding down and walked back to the underpass, where the homeless man was gone, and there was the stainless steel basin on the ground, and there were three coins in it.

"Why bother?"

With a long sigh, I put the three coins back in my pocket, looked at the underpass coldly, and then turned to leave again.

"Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is mysterious, the sun is bright, and the eight directions are mighty, so that I am naturally ·····"

After I walked out of the underground passage, I recited the scriptures, and as the sound of my chanting came out, the gray mist actively parted, and the street lamps above my head were still bright.

On the way, I didn't encounter anything again, and returned home very safely, on the side of the entrance of the house, I placed a shrine, put three pillars of incense on the statue of Sanqing, and then took a bath and slept.

The next afternoon, when I was ready to go out of the stall, I went to the incense and candle shop to buy some incense candle paper money, put it in a black bag, and then continued to set up the stall.

Tonight, the man showed up as promised, but after he finished paying, I asked Xu Lin to help me watch the stall, while I myself carried my bag and followed the man.

The place where I live is the middle of the urban area and the suburbs of Yangcheng City, which can also be called the urban-rural junction.

Around the corner, the man had disappeared, and I looked around, to my right was a construction site that had been suspended, I don't know if it was an unfinished building, and on my left was an urban village with a small park in front of it.

I walked into the small park, took out the incense candle paper money, and began to burn the paper money slowly, and occasionally a few passers-by saw me, sped up, and quickly left.

When I ran out of paper, a man slowly walked in front of me, the same man who had eaten at my stall for eight days, standing in front of me, staring at me with dead eyes, and I could read a look of surprise in his rolled eyes.

"Isn't it strange that your money can't buy my life?"

I stood up, looked at him, and pulled eight coins out of my pocket.

This is his life-buying money, and it is also my life-selling money, if it weren't for my small achievements in cultivation, last night, I would have had an accident and died.

"Why"

The man made a hoarse voice, which was hard to hear, as if a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat, and it made people feel hairy.

"Because of my cultivators, the karma in my body has made my luck worse, but with your qualifications, you can't buy my life."

I shook my head, I have been practicing in Dulong Mountain for ten years, and my ancestor has blessed me, although my cultivation is not very good, but it is not a wandering soul and wild ghost who can harm my life.

"Sell me, sell me..."

Suddenly, the man's face turned hideous, and he was about to pounce with his hands raised, when a foul smell came to his face.

"Bang"

But in the next second, he flew out upside down, and I put away the Heavenly Master Order in my hand and looked at him coldly.

"I said it, my life, it's not like you can buy it if you want to, today I have a kind heart, and I will send you a scroll of the death spell..."

"The Supreme Pardon Order, the Lonely Soul of Crossing, the Ghost Everything..."

I sat cross-legged on the ground and opened my mouth to recite the "Mantra of the Dead", but tonight's mantra did not make him feel peace of mind, but was extremely painful, and he quickly disappeared in front of my eyes.

The death spell can't cross him, I sighed, then I can't help it, I can't really sell my life to him.

Since I didn't have a chance, I didn't force it, cleaned up the place, and then returned to the night market.

"Xuanji, what are you doing, you look in a hurry"

Seeing me come back, Xu Lin asked me, this business is very good, and I don't want business.

"Take care of a little thing, solve it, and there won't be any more messy things coming to me in the future"

I said to Xu Lin, of course, this sentence is purely to comfort him, the so-called doctor does not heal himself, and the diviner does not tell himself, I have not told my fortune, but the cause and effect of the ancestral house of the Chen family in the mountain city was not small, it must not be so simple to pass, and there will inevitably be something in the future.

But I'm not afraid, just a few things, I can get rid of them, and I have a clear conscience, accumulate more yin virtue, and sooner or later I will be able to eliminate this cause and effect.

When Xu Lin heard what I said, he remembered what happened a few days ago, and immediately stopped asking, thinking that he didn't know.

After setting up the stall at twelve o'clock, after returning home, I calculated the harvest of the eight days, and the most sold day was 480 yuan, and the least day was only more than 190 yuan, and the average was about 300 yuan a day.

The price of the materials of the cold powder is very low, even if the booth fee and packaging fee are comprehensively calculated, the cost is about forty percent, and the average can earn one or two hundred yuan a day, which is very different from the monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan said by the owner of the noodle shop before, but it is enough for me to live, and I am very satisfied.

········

"Boom"

On this day, a thunder sounded, lightning crossed the dark night sky, and the night market in Yangcheng suddenly became chaotic, and hundreds of people who set up stalls quickly began to pack up their stalls and prepare to go back.

"I'll go, it's late autumn now, and it's still raining"

Xu Lin scolded, and quickly put away the cutting board and gas stove of his brine stall, and it had to be closed, and it seemed that it would rain soon.

My jelly stand was much simpler, and I cleaned it up in a few clicks, and then I went to collect the low tables, folded them up, and put them under the cart.

"I guess it's too late, this rain is indeed a bit urgent"

After the collection, I said to Xu Lin, usually it takes half an hour to close the stall slowly, but today it took more than ten minutes to get very fast, and there were raindrops starting to fall, and the thunder was very loud.

"If it's too late, you have to push it back, or my mother will have to scold me to death"

Xu Lin shook his head, and quickly pushed the cart to the house, it was only about nine o'clock, and his marinade had not been sold for a third, and the contents were worth at least thousands of yuan, his mother was a thrifty person, if he got wet, Xu Lin would definitely be scolded.

"I have a lot of strength, I'll help you push, you push mine"

I changed carts with Xu Lin, Xu Lin was tall and thin, he didn't have two taels of flesh on his body, and his strength was not as good as me, who practiced martial arts all year round, he already knew this, so Xu Lin didn't say anything, and hurriedly changed it with me.

However, it is still too slow, the night market is more than 300 meters away from the urban village where Xu Lin lives, and it takes at least ten minutes to push the car.

"Don't go, the terrain in the urban village is very low, wait a minute, we have to wade through the water, it's too dangerous, find a place to hide first, over there, there's a hamburger milk tea shop over there, let's push the car over"

On the way, we saw a hamburger bubble tea shop, there was a large canopy in front of the store, just to hide from the rain, we quickly pushed the cart over, and there were also people who set up stalls next to us who wanted to come, but we occupied the place first, so we had to brave the rain to go home.

"Xuanji, we occupy other people's canopies, we occupy half of the door, you go in and order two drinks, I'll buy two raincoats to cover things, if the rain doesn't stop, we'll wear raincoats and walk back"

Xu Lin saw that we had blocked half of the entrance of other people's stores, and was a little embarrassed, I must have bought something, so I nodded in agreement.

I walked into the store, there was only one person inside, I looked at the menu, there were some common drinks and snacks like burgers, and I thought I hadn't eaten at night, so I ordered two Cokes and two burgers.

After consuming, the waiter in the store was embarrassed to drive me away, and after a while, Xu Lin also came back, and in the store, four people who were hiding from the rain came one after another, and it seemed that they were college students from the university next to them.

"Boom"

"Snap"

Ten minutes later, there was another thunderclap, the lights in the store were all extinguished, and the entire area was without power.
