Chapter 31: Dead Rats
I remembered that it was indeed about six o'clock in the afternoon when he came yesterday, and there was no sun at that time, and it was tightly covered, and I didn't look closely, so I didn't notice it.
But it's really unbelievable that he appeared in my place in broad daylight.
Doesn't he know that he is a ghost, and it is better not to go out during the day.
It's already good to be gone.
My first reaction was to look at the money he gave me yesterday, fortunately, it wasn't a dark coin, otherwise I would have lost my deal yesterday.
For his pitiful sake now, I don't have much to worry about him.
It was a while before the merchant woke up.
When he saw me, he didn't say thank you, grabbed my hand, and said loudly: "Give me the jade crown, I know it's in your hand!"
I raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?"
"I saw it last night, I've been staring at the door across the street from your house, and last night I saw a guy give a package to a little girl saying he was going to give it to you. ”
"I saw you take the package at dawn this morning, you give me the jade crown, I can give you as much as I want!"
I looked at him in surprise: "How do you know that the package is wrapped in a jade crown?"
He was stopped by my question, and he calmed down and began to mumble, "yes, how could I see it......"
"I don't care, anyway, I just know, if you give me that thing, I'll give you money, anyway, even if you take that thing, it's useless to you!"
"Even if I give it to you, you're useless. ”
I looked at him, and this man probably didn't really know he was a ghost.
"I, I'm going to have to resell to someone else......"
I sighed, "You're dead, let's go and reincarnate, the jade crown is an ominous thing, I won't keep this thing, and when my injuries heal one day, I will send it back to its original owner." ”
"What?"
The merchant was stunned for a moment, "You said I was dead, what are you kidding?" ”
"Are you kidding, you can't see it yourself, you are very afraid of the sun now, otherwise you can't wrap it so tightly on a hot day, you better go and reincarnate, I don't want to embarrass you. ”
"But there's one thing I want to ask you, do you know what the guy who wrapped the girl looked like, was it a man or a woman?"
The merchant apparently did not come to his senses, and was still dwelling on the unacceptable subject that he was dead.
Seeing that his expression is like a soul, it's quite pitiful, and I don't embarrass him, so it's not impossible to leave him to sit in the store for a while.
I went back to the back room and opened the box, and the jade crown was placed inside.
That's when I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There was a faint black gas floating on it.
And it's strange that there is a strange aroma wafting through the whole room.
I couldn't tell where the scent came from, and I sniffed myself and wasn't at all.
If it's the smell of incense that I usually order, I'm used to smelling it, and it can't be that smell.
After turning around, I noticed that the last scent came from under the cabinet.
I reached in and grabbed a dead rat out of it.
The dead mouse's stomach was torn open, and something seemed to be stuffed inside, like cotton wool, soft.
I was wondering when I heard a sound around me.
"It's ominous, bury it as soon as possible. ”
I looked around for a moment, but there was nothing.
So where did this sound come from?
Looking through the window into the shop, the merchant had not yet recovered from his dead grief, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him.
At this moment, the ethereal voice rang out again.
"The jade crown cannot be kept, and the things in the tomb will definitely attract the prying eyes of the yin objects in the tomb. ”
"I can protect you for a while, but in the end, it is up to you, and everything can be avoided before February 2nd, remember. ”
Only then did I react, it turned out to be a voice coming from my back, and it was the Dragon King who spoke.
Doesn't this mean that this jade jade crown is a yin and evil thing, as long as you get your hands on it, you will get into trouble?
I felt even more uneasy, thinking that it was daytime, but what I could handle during the day should not wait until night.
"Then what should I do?" I quickly asked.
"The soil of the cemetery is cold, it is the birthplace of the jade and jade crown, and the rat is a carrion after the belly is broken, and it should be put into the soil for safety. ”
"The jade jade pass is buried in the tomb with a charm, and after three days, the evil qi is taken into the tomb and placed in the coffin, remembering that no matter what you see, you must not be confused by it, and other items in the tomb must not be touched. ”
It sounded like a dream to me, and it seemed like the first time I had spoken to the dragon king.
But maybe it was something I did before that hurt it very badly, so this time to prevent me from making the same mistake again, so I came to remind me.
Thinking about it this way, I feel quite sorry for it.
"I was too reckless last time, I apologize for what I said about you before, and what helped me before, thank you. ”
Whatever I said later, he shouldn't have said anything.
I jolted out of bed and found myself falling asleep at an unknown time.
"Was it just a dream?"
I'm a little confused.
Quickly jumped out of bed, the dead mouse was still on the table, I quickly wrapped it up, its belly still open.
I remember reading in the book that scented rats are evil, especially those that are scented after being disemboweled, and they will provoke many bad things.
I used the method in the book, brought a basin of hot water, soaked the gold thread in hot water, and when it was hot, I threaded it with a needle and sewed up the broken belly of the mouse little by little.
This sewing method is particular, it must be sewn by the wrong needle, the thread can not be broken when sewing, if the thread is broken, it can not be continued, otherwise the dead mouse will suddenly come back to life.
If you are bitten by one of these rats, the scent will soak down the wound and into the bloodstream.
I don't know exactly what this scent will induce, but it's definitely something bad.
Since the Dragon King's dream must have given me some truth, I decided to do it as soon as it said, and bury the mouse and the jade crown.
After sewing the rat's belly, there is still a piece of thread left, which cannot be removed, and the needle must be inserted into the stomach, which means stitching, and if the needle falls off, the contents will also escape.
When I was done with this, I wrapped the dead rat in a rag, along with the jade crown.
When he went out, the merchant ghost was gone.
