YG County, Jiangbu Township.

A commercial vehicle stopped on a township street.

"Mr. Su, this is the supermarket. ”

Four people got out of the car, it was Su Chen and his party, it was Yin Leopard who was driving, Yin Li and Chen Xin who came with Su Chen, and Zhang Qian and Liu Xin had already returned to the city and started their summer vacation career.

Shenghu supermarket.

This is a shop located on the edge of the street vegetable market, and the so-called vegetable market is not planned, but refers to both sides of the street.

The countryside is different from the city, the city's vegetable market is planned, and the rural vegetable market is generally located on a busy street, with vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, and there may be some small shops and clothing stores on both sides.

This style was handed down from the old society, when the traffic was not convenient, and in normal times, the villagers of various villages in the countryside did not come to the town, and only when they met the market day of the town, the villagers of each village would come to the market.

The handicraft master brings his own handicrafts to *** such as the worker with a bamboo basket and bamboo chair, the vegetable grower with vegetables, and the fisherman with fish, these villagers in the following villages are naturally unlikely to spend money to buy a stall, so they can only find a random location on the roadside to set up a stall, which is also the origin of the market.

And the place where you can open a supermarket in this most lively street is definitely the location of the town's golden shops, and these villagers who are rushing to the market, after selling their things, will also buy some of the necessities they need to go back.

"Daddy's dad is called grandpa, mom's mom is called grandma......"

At the entrance of Shenghu Supermarket, there were two shaking machines, and there were children sitting on them shaking them, Su Chen glanced at the door of the store, didn't say anything, and walked in.

Because today is not a market day, and it is summer, there are not many people in the supermarket, and in the supermarket, there is a table, and several men are playing cards around.

There was a woman in her thirties standing at the cash register, who was bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone, and when Su Chen and the others walked in, she didn't speak.

Generally, in this supermarket in the countryside, most of them are acquaintances, and the residents go in to take things to the cashier to settle the bill, and the boss will not ask what to buy, if it is an unfamiliar person, he will also take the initiative to tell the boss what he needs.

Looking at this woman, Su Chen estimated that this should be the daughter of the supermarket owner Wang Shenghu, according to the records, Wang Shenghu has three daughters, in addition to the missing third daughter, the first two daughters are now in their thirties.

"Do you want to buy cigarettes?"

Seeing that Su Chen did not walk towards the shelf, but walked towards the cashier, Wang Fengxian raised her head and asked, because the cigarettes were placed on her side.

"I don't buy cigarettes, I want to ask, is Boss Wang Shenghu here?" asked Su Chen with a smile.

"You're looking for my dad?"

Wang Fengxian was a little puzzled, but still replied: "My dad went to the warehouse to move things, and it will take a while to come back, do you have anything to do with my dad?"

"Well, it's a bit of a thing. Su Chen nodded.

"Then I'll give my dad a call. ”

"That's trouble. ”

Wang Fengxian picked up her mobile phone and dialed her father's number, speaking the local dialect, Su Chen probably understood something, which meant that a young man was looking for you to have something to do, and he was already in the store.

"My dad was on his way, and it would be there in a few minutes. ”

While waiting, Chen Xin curiously walked over there to watch people play cards, these four men played fifty K, this is a very popular poker style in the province, the people present include Chen Xin and Yin Lidu, not to mention Su Chen and Yin Leopard.

"Dig a groove, Lao Wu, what kind of luck are you today, you have caught four kings in a row. ”

"It's really an evil sect, you didn't hit twenty, and you caught four and four kings, hell. ”

There were two men muttering at the card table, and the old Wu they said was smiling: "I don't know, maybe it's Jitai to come, I kept losing money a few days ago." ”

Su Chen's eyes looked at the man named Lao Wu, with a look of surprise on his face, and then walked to the man's side silently, and said, "This big brother, can you borrow a fire?"

There was a lighter on the man's desk, and when he heard this, he glanced up at Su Chen, didn't speak, picked up the lighter on the table and handed it to Su Chen.

If you are a professional gambler, you may not borrow a lighter, because some gamblers are very superstitious, and they feel that when they are lucky, they will borrow their luck by lending the lighter to others.

This man is obviously not a professional gambler, and he doesn't have these taboos, but Chen Xin and Yinli were a little surprised to see Su Chen's actions, because they knew that Su Chen didn't smoke.

Su Chen took the lighter, and the sound leopard was not slow to react, took out the cigarette case from his pocket and gave one to Su Chen, and at the same time gave one to each of the four men who played cards.

Syllable!

Su Chen put the cigarette in his mouth, and pressed the lighter to light the cigarette, but he just took a puff and spit it out, and did not let the smoke enter his lungs.

After lighting the cigarette, the flame of the lighter in Su Chen's hand was not extinguished, the flame switch was still pressed, Su Chen took the lighter and turned it around in the air a few times, and then returned the lighter to the man.

"Thank you. ”

After returning the lighter, Su Chen walked to the door of the supermarket with a cigarette, and Chen Xin and the three of them also followed, seeing Su Chen extinguishing the cigarette and throwing it away.

"Su Chen, you don't smoke, why did you use someone's lighter to light it just now, is there something wrong with that man, is that man a ghost and not a human?"

Hearing Chen Xin's whimsical words, Su Chen was a little helpless, this girl is estimated to be a ghost after her cognitive outlook has been subverted in the past few days.

"Where are there so many ghosts in this world, and a ghost still has time to play cards with others?"

"There's got to be a reason why you're doing it anyway. Chen Xin said firmly.

Su Chen didn't refute Chen Xin's words this time, nodded and lowered his voice and said: "I looked at this man's face, his fortune is not very prosperous, and it can even be said to be a little weak, this kind of fortune will only lose money under normal circumstances, and it is impossible to win." ”

"Mr. Su, what's the matter with this person?" Yin Li asked curiously.

"It's a deal with something, a change of luck. ”

Seeing Chen Xin's two daughters and the puzzled eyes of Yin Leopard, Su Chen explained: "Many people sometimes go to worship the Bodhisattva Immortal or something after losing money playing cards, and ask the Bodhisattva Immortal to bless it, but this is useless, the Bodhisattva Immortal will not bless this." But the Bodhisattva Immortal doesn't do it, there are other things that do. ”

"I guess this man worships some psychic thing, praying that the other party can let him play cards and win money, but this kind of psychic existence is not a good kind, it is completely transactional, and what you want to get has to pay something, and often pay more than you get. ”

Hearing Su Chen's explanation, Chen Xin and the three of them looked at each other, and there was still this statement.

"Then what did Su Chen say about psychic things?"

"I don't know, it can be an ancient tree, it can be a spirit, it can be something. ”

Su Chen could almost guess the development of the story, this man should have lost money a few days ago, maybe he heard something, worshiped the existence of a certain psychic being, and made a promise, such as what if he won the money in the transfer......

"Then Su Chen, what did you do just now?" Chen Xin thought of Su Chen's move to find the man to get a lighter just now, and asked with some curiosity.

"I shut down his dealings with the psychic. ”

To be honest, under normal circumstances, Su Chen would not interfere, because this was voluntary, and this interference would be tantamount to offending the psychic existence.

The reason why he intervened this time was because judging from the appearance of this man, he should have done manual work for a living, the inside of his fingernails was black, and the calluses on his hands were also very deep.

A man of this age, both old and young, is considered the pillar of the family, if he really wins more this time, it will definitely fall deeper and deeper, and when the time comes, he will only lose his life to the psychic existence, and this family will be ruined.

If he was a fair-skinned person who didn't seem to work much, Su Chen would never care about it.

"So, don't make a wish on anything when you're okay in the future, even if you want to make a wish, don't promise anything that will hurt you, especially girls, don't say at every turn that you will use my three-year life to change a boyfriend or something. ”

When Su Chen said this, he glanced at Chen Xin, Chen Xin pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You think I'm stupid, girls nowadays are very fine, and generally even if they make a wish, they all use their ex-boyfriends to make a wish." ”

Hearing Chen Xin's words, Su Chen didn't know how to respond for a while, it seemed to be such a truth.

The girl's ex-boyfriend is used to curse, and the boy's ex-girlfriend is used to reminisce.
