After Yang Mingde found out, he decided to take his wife back to see it first. However, Shopkeeper Zhu was very considerate and said to Yang Mingde: "If I don't ask the guy to go in and have a look first, it shouldn't be a big problem." It's dawn, and ghosts can't come out after dawn, but be careful. ”

Yang Mingde is even more grateful. So the shopkeeper called a few guys, carrying sticks, to open the door of the pharmacy. The guys were a little nervous, but it was already dark, and they could see it very clearly everywhere after entering, so they searched inside and outside the house, and they were safe, so they came back with a big grin and said, "It's okay, there's nothing in the house, don't worry." ”

After Yang Mingde thanked him repeatedly, he took his wife, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Zhu and a few guys, and went into the pharmacy again, looked around, and everything was really safe.

Shopkeeper Zhu asked the guy to help again, and quickly opened the door, at this time, the patients all came in to buy medicine and see a doctor, and they were all taken aback when they saw Yang Mingde in a trance. Some of them are old sick people who ask with concern what happened?

Shopkeeper Zhu didn't wait for Yang Mingde to speak, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing." Hey, hey, hey. ”

The more Shopkeeper Zhu said this, the more it attracted the attention of those patients. People are curious, and this curiosity is even stronger when the other person deliberately covers it up. But no matter how much I asked, no one told the truth, so I had to give up.

Yang Xianmao saw that there were many patients, so he beat his spirits, got up and thanked the shopkeeper Zhu and his wife, saying that he was okay and asked them to come back. So the shopkeeper Zhu and his wife returned to their jewelry shop, and told them to call them if there was anything to do. Mr. and Mrs. Yang Mingde were grateful.

Yang Mingde and his wife worked hard to see a doctor and buy medicine.

Yang Mingde and his wife Zhu originally wanted to invite a Taoist priest to do it, but they were worried that this matter would spread, wouldn't that ruin the pharmacy?

Mr. and Mrs. Yang Mingde, surnamed Yang, discussed for a while, and finally decided to watch it for another night. If you really can't do it, you can ask the Taoist priest to do it.

The eldest son of the landlord's grandmother Sun, Sun Dalang, also pretended to have nothing to do, and when he saw the depressed appearance of Yang Mingde and his wife, he was proud, and after a few words of gossip, he went to the jewelry store next door to find the shopkeeper Zhu, called him aside, and whispered: "How about it? ”

Shopkeeper Zhu was surprised and delighted and said, "It's really your people who did it." ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, how could you be haunted for no reason? How can there be so many ghosts, and they appear at this time. Let me tell you, the next thing, my macaque brother said, tossing for another night tonight, will definitely be scared crazy, then you can find a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts for him, Taoist priests are of course our people, he will tell them at that time, this fierce ghost can not be collected, only by leaving can they save their lives, so they will not go obediently?"

When the shopkeeper Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he smiled, patted Sun Dalang's shoulder and said, "It's really a wonderful plan, you are really amazing, admire and admire." ”

"Hehe, that's right, twenty taels of silver, it's worth it for so many people to help you. ”

"That's, thank you. ”

So, Sun Dalang leaned into the ear of the shopkeeper Zhu and muttered for a while, saying the place where he lived for a long time and his surname, and then he said goodbye and left

The day finally passed slowly, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the hearts of Yang Mingde and his wife were hanging little by little.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Shopkeeper Zhu and his wife took a few men to visit the pharmacy again, and also brought some snacks.

Shopkeeper Zhu said to Yang Mingde: "If you are afraid tonight, you can stay on our side, or I will call two guys to come to your shop and guard you, there are really ghosts, they are men, young and strong, maybe they can fight with ghosts for two rounds." ”

When Shopkeeper Zhu said this, the few guys who followed behind all showed fear on their faces, and shook their heads desperately and retreated.

Seeing this scene, Yang Mingde hurriedly said: "No, no, no, thank you, it's already very troublesome for you to shopkeeper Zhu." ”

The shopkeeper Zhu and his wife glanced at each other, they were actually just pretending just now, if Yang Mingde and his wife agreed to them, they would find an excuse to shirk, and the guy behind him was also very cooperative and showed a fearful look. Indeed, if they heard that a place was haunted, and they let themselves go to that place, it would not have been possible for them to risk their lives so much. This is exactly what Shopkeeper Zhu has already calculated, so he deliberately brought these guys as well.

So, the shopkeeper Zhu and his wife were relieved for a while, and then they left with someone.

After they left, the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Yang Mingde hung in the air. They regretted a little that they should have agreed to let the guy from the shopkeeper Zhu stay with them just now, but at this time, they regretted it, and they felt that they couldn't get enough face, so they gritted their teeth and decided to carry it for another night.

Yang Mingde took a kitchen knife, took his wife Zhang's hand, and Zhang's other hand carried a lantern, the two of them turned around all the rooms one by one, checked that all the doors and windows were closed tightly, and checked all the places that could hide people in the cabinet under the bed, and there were no people or ghosts hidden, the two returned to the pharmacy, and Zhang said to Yang Mingde: "Official, what should I do?"

This is a bit brainless, but Yang Mingde understood, in fact, he also wanted to ask this question, and his wife said it first. He smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said: "We still sleep in the bedroom, you can see any movement, keep the lamp on, light it all night, I don't believe that the ghost dares to come out if there is light, I have a firewood knife on me, if the ghost really comes out, I will hack it to death!"

When he said the last few words, his voice was already trembling, and even he didn't believe that if he really came out, he would have that guts. However, it is good to be brave at this time, even if it is a joke. Zhang nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, if you don't sleep, I'll sit and recite the Amitabha Sutra, and I won't dare to approach when I hear that the ghosts are reciting the scriptures."

Yang Mingde waved his hand very righteously and said, "That's not necessary, or the two of us will take turns, I will sleep for half the night, and you will sleep for the second half of the night." ”

Zhang thought about it, but he was afraid that this was a better way, if he wanted to let his husband sleep all night, the kind-hearted husband would definitely not agree, so he nodded.

In the first half of the night, Zhang's vigil, Yang Mingde put the kitchen knife in his arms and slept with his clothes. Zhang lit five or six lanterns in the house, and hung two on the floor, on the table, at the head of the bed, by the door, and even on the beams of the room.

She sat quietly on the edge of the bed in the brightly lit bedroom, looking around.

But until the third watch day agreed by the two, nothing happened. Only then did Zhu gradually let go of his nervous heart. Listening to the sound of bangs in the distance, knocking on the third watch, Zhang's originally wanted to push Yang Mingde awake, but when he saw Yang Mingde sleeping soundly, and snoring gently, he couldn't bear to wake him up, because the two of them were frightened last night and didn't sleep well, and Yang Mingde had to see patients during the day, and Zhang's still felt sorry for her husband, so she wanted him to sleep until the fifth watch and then call him, and it would be enough for him to sleep for an hour.

So Zhang did not wake up her husband and continued to sit on the edge of the bed, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

She insisted until the fourth watch, she really couldn't stay up, kept napping, thinking in her heart, there was nothing in the middle of the night, it must really be the ghost of the passing by said by the shopkeeper Zhu next door, and she left after scaring people, and she was worried all night, so she gradually put her mind at ease and began to lean on the head of the bed to nap.

In a daze, she suddenly felt the lights in the room suddenly dim. When I opened my eyes, I don't know when, all the seven or eight lights in the house were extinguished.

She tensed up and looked around, and suddenly she noticed that there seemed to be a figure swaying gently behind the curtain at the end of the bed.

She was suddenly frightened that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and she looked at the black shadow at the end of the bed in horror. She wanted to call her husband, but wondered if she was too nervous, because her figure didn't seem to move.

But the things at the head of the bed were always there, and the curtain on the bed kept shaking gently, and there was no wind to automatic, and Zhang was sure that he had not touched the curtain on the bed at all. She began to tremble and recite the Amitabha Sutra. But the louder she read it, the more the curtain trembled.

She got out of bed in fright, groped for a fire sickle to light the lamp at the bedside, and her heart calmed down a little. However, the curtain was still shaking, and behind the picture at the end of the bed, the figure was still there, but it was motionless.

Zhang looked at her sleeping husband, she was a little worried that she had shaken the bed in fright, and maybe there was a photocopy of something behind the window, which was simply scaring herself. So, she decided to take the plunge and see what was wrong.

So she picked up the lantern at the head of the bed and carefully walked to the end of the bed. First stretched out the lantern and illuminated the end of the bed, and looked through the curtain, but did not find a human figure, so I was bold enough to look behind the picture at the end of the bed, and there was really nothing, empty, but it turned out to be scared of myself.

Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, comforted himself, turned around and was about to go back to the bedside, suddenly, under the light, saw a terrifying and abnormal hanged ghost, floating in the air out of thin air, a rope strangled it hanging on the beam, long red tongue, two eyes wide, staring at her deadly.

Zhang screamed in fright, and the lantern in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the light went out. She collapsed on the ground, but she was not frightened and fainted, but her eyes did not turn, staring directly at the hanged ghost floating on the beam of the room in mid-air.

Although Yang Mingde fell asleep, he was not too sleepy, but he had been sleeping unsteadily, although this cry was only half a sound, it still woke him up from his sleep.
