The two workers were puzzled and said that the tile looked new, so why should it be washed. I said, "You don't know, this tile is not this color, it has rained twice and it has changed color, and it is not beautiful." "The workers didn't ask, but they took the money to do things, so they went up to tear down the tiles.

This decoration is made of gypsum board, and the various parts are glued together vigorously, and it is time-consuming to disassemble them. When I was demolishing, I saw the old merchant riding a bicycle to the door of the store and pointing at the workers. I hurriedly walked out, and the old merchant asked me, "Dude, what are you doing here?"

I talked about the demolition and cleaning, and he said that it is close to the windows of his house, and it will not be safe to open the windows in the summer. I laughed: "Uncle Shang, you think too much, we are not thieves, how can we steal your things? Besides, you are on the second floor, and the windows have screens and guardrails, and if the workers want to take things, they have to cut the screens, which is not easy." Let's put it this way, if you lose something in your house today, count it in mine. When the old merchant heard this, he put his heart down, and pushed his bicycle to the intersection with a relaxed face, he should have gone to work.

The workers had finished their work in the afternoon, and had almost finished the washed tiles, and Luo Li let them into the shop to rest and cool off, while I climbed the ladder and stepped on the decorative ridge of the door, the windowsill of the old merchant only reaching my chest. Looking around, because it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining very brightly, and the weather was hot, there were very few pedestrians on this street, and no one paid attention to me. Looking out of the window of the old merchant, this bedroom is really messy, the bed is placed against the wall, and there is a Buddha statue hanging on the wall, which is not good. The large wardrobe is at least twenty years old, the big drawer at the bottom is half opened, and the clothes inside are almost coming out, I don't know how long it has not been cleaned up, the floor is an old-fashioned red long floor, full of dust and footprints, and there are kneaded paper towels and melon seed skins, I can be sure that the last time the old merchant swept and mopped the floor was at least two months ago.

Standing in front of the window, you can smell the musty smell, which is called the bachelor's room, and I can't help but sigh. Looking closely at the windows, in addition to the guardrails, there are also old screens, and when I wipe them lightly with my hands, my fingers are full of dust, and I guess I haven't washed them for at least two or three years. Not to mention mosquito proof, this screen may not even be able to blow the wind in, and the dust is almost blocking the screen eye.

I felt around the screen with my hand, and found that the gauze was already torn in one place, and I tore it open with force, revealing a large hole. I hurriedly took out the talisman and a tube of all-purpose glue from my trouser pocket, and in order to counterbalance the weight, I deliberately put two discarded supermarket membership cards in the transparent bag containing the talisman. It was impossible to stuff it under the old merchant's futon, so I held the charm in my hand and aimed at the space under the bed, nervously thinking that I must not throw it crookedly, otherwise it would be bad.

Decisively threw the spirit charm out, and with good luck, it happened to hit the edge of the sheet and threw it under the bed, and there was a sheet outside to block it, and nothing could be seen. I was overjoyed, and then the worker came out and shouted what I was doing, I hurriedly said that it was okay, just to check the work, and the worker said: "Big brother, come down quickly, this ladder is too high, don't fall down again!" I blocked the window with my body, quickly applied all-purpose glue to the place where the gauze was torn, and then slowly glued it to the window frame, and wiped it evenly with my fingers.

Two workers helped me hold the ladder, I slowly climbed down, clapped my hands, and said that the work was good, let's finish it quickly, and then I can clean up early. The workers climbed the ladder, glued the last few tiles, settled the fees when they came down, packed up their things, loaded the ladder into the truck and left.

"How's it going, did it work?" asked Luo Li with big eyes as she entered the store. I made an OK gesture and said no problem, everything went well, and told her what had happened. Luo Li smiled happily and said that you are really good, but I will definitely not dare to change it.

I said, "The old merchant's house is more messy than a pigsty, and it is estimated that he has not swept the floor for several months, and he will definitely not find the spirit charm in the short term." It's just that the screen window is too old, and it has my handprints on it, for fear that he will suspect it. Luo Li said what to do, I said it's okay, anyway, he didn't lose anything at home, that house, everything together is not worth as much as the spirit charm, Luo Li grinned.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the old merchant really came and asked me why there were so many handprints on the screens of his windows. I already had an idea: "Uncle Shang, when the workers are installing the tiles, sometimes they will hold on to things, and they may accidentally touch the screen window of your house, right? These two workers are very familiar with our Mr. Feng, and they don't dare to kill them. ”

The old merchant said: "I didn't lose anything, but the gauze on the screen window was loose, and I just touched it with my hand, and the gauze was cracked!" I hurriedly said I'm sorry, so let's pay you fifty yuan.

"What did you say?" the old merchant was a little surprised, and hurriedly took the money, "You guys are really polite, I just said casually, that's okay, I'll go first." ”

Seeing the old merchant leave, Luo Li snorted: "If you give money, you will have to ask for it, fifty yuan, not to mention gauze, even the gauze frame is enough to replace it with a new one." I smiled and said that I couldn't give up the child and couldn't trap the wolf, and let him return it to me a hundred times when the time came.

After a few days, the old merchant did not come to the Buddha brand shop to find me, and Luo Li was very disappointed: "Is it that some kind of spiritual charm did not work?"

I said, "No, the spirit charm was specially obtained for me in Kaohsiung, and it must have an effect, it's only a matter of time." Luo Li said that if it dragged on for too long, it would be boring. I said it doesn't matter, anyway, the Buddhist card shop is here, we have Buzhou Shimian Town, and the old businessman's wife Yin Ling will not trouble us anymore, so we will wait for the rabbit. For seven or eight days in a row, Luo Li and I slept well every night, not to mention strange dreams, there were very few ordinary dreams, and the quality of sleep was very high. Just when we were both about to forget about it, the old merchant came.

After half past eight that night, the sky was as cloudy as the bottom of a black pot, and it was about to rain, Luo Li and I had just closed the door of the store, and we were thinking about how to kill the time, when we suddenly heard someone knocking on the back door of the store. The sound was exactly the same as what I had heard in my dreams. Luo Li's face turned pale with fright: "Is it that the old businessman and his wife are coming, what should I do?"

"Don't be afraid, it's less than nine o'clock, and it stands to reason that even if the ghost calls the door in the middle of the night, it can't be so early, there are still a lot of pedestrians outside!" I said, and I walked to the door of the hallway much slower than usual.

Standing in front of the security door, Luo Li shivered and hid behind me, I wondered, if she was really scared, why did she come with her, not into the bedroom to hide? I turned around and motioned for her to enter the bedroom, but Luo Li kept shaking her head. The knocking on the door continued, I turned my head and saw the neon lights flashing outside the glass door of the store, and many pedestrians were hurrying by, holding umbrellas in their hands, thinking that your ghost is too bold, it is only more than eight o'clock, and it is so lively outside, you dare to jump out and make trouble?
