Chapter 227: Black Candle
At the back door of the flower shop, Chen Hao stood by the sink, and in front of him stood a young man holding a large black umbrella.
She subconsciously looked at the top of her head, the sky was blue, and it was not raining.
But it's nothing, Chen Hao didn't think too much, but felt a little weird, the instinct of a businessman, and responded with a smile, "Hello." ”
"Is there a white chrysanthemum?" the man asked, without a hint of expression on his face.
Chen Hao is used to seeing twins in the past few days, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with such a wooden expression, but he is a little strange, and he softly "Ah?".
Ordinary people don't always ask 'is there anything' when they buy things, but this is the first time Chen Hao has heard the word 'have'.
It's not that I don't understand, it's just that I didn't react at once. Looking at the person's costume again, he suddenly seemed to understand something, Chen Hao put away a smile, nodded dignifiedly and replied, "That, you wait for me to go to the warehouse to have a look." ”
Strictly speaking, the average flower shop rarely buys the flower of white chrysanthemum.
But as it happens, there is a funeral parlor a few kilometers away, and all the white chrysanthemums have become a common variety in the florists in this area.
The person who came was dressed in black, and Chen Hao guessed in his heart that the other party's family was doing white things. Unable to help but feel a little solemn, he turned into the back warehouse and brought out a dry bucket from the corner that he didn't use often, and there were a few bunches of miscellaneous flowers in the bucket that had not yet been untied, including white chrysanthemum.
Thinking that it would not be good to give people bare like this, I went into the store again and found a plain white paper and simply wrapped it.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yi was sweeping the branches and leaves on the ground when he saw Chen Hao's hurried appearance.
"There's a guy out there buying chrysanthemum, maybe someone in the family isn't there. Alas..."Chen Hao responded.
After saying that, he walked towards the back door of the back warehouse, and Meng Yi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, so he thought about putting down the broom and followed out.
"Your flowers. ”
After the young man holding the black umbrella put away the flowers, he took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, and Chen Hao waved his hand.
"No need, just a few flowers, for you. Please mourn. ”
Of course, it is impossible for her to open a shop and do business without collecting money and giving away flowers, but for some reason, looking at the pale face of this young man with dark circles under his eyes, she has an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The man looked like he was in his early twenties, and Chen Hao subconsciously thought that it was the elders of the other party's family who had passed away.
is also a child, and his mother has just left for a long time, so he can't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. A few sprigs of flowers are not worth a few dollars, and may bring a touch of comfort to a sad heart.
The young man held the hand out the money, and after a while slowly put it back in his pocket.
Chen Hao was about to go back to the store, when the young man stretched out his hand again, and a short black candle was spread out in the palm of his hand, "This, in exchange." ”
... Chen Hao was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Meng Yi, who also frowned.
This young man is indeed strange, but no matter how strange he is, he is just an ordinary person. There was no sign of spiritual power fluctuations in the surrounding area, otherwise Meng Yi would have noticed that something was wrong at the first time.
It's nothing to think about, it looks like an ordinary candle.
After Chen Hao accepted the black candle, the young man turned around and left with the bouquet of white chrysanthemums holding an umbrella.
It seems that he is quite familiar with this old residential area, and this kind of thing must not be discovered by those crazy customers by going through the back door! Chen Hao stared at the black candle and didn't care anymore, his mind still on the store.
"Show me" Meng Yi stretched out his hand, and Chen Hao handed him the black candle.
The moment he came into contact, Meng Yi was like being burned by a hot piece of red. Suddenly, he let go of his hand, and in his confusion, the candle fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Chen Hao was startled and didn't care about the things on the ground, only to see Meng Yi clenching his fingers with a strange expression.
"No, it's fine, but, maybe I'm cramping. ”
Meng Yi is not clever, but he is not stupid either. At this moment, if Chen Hao found out that there was something strange in him, he couldn't explain it with his stupid tongue. Resisting the tingling heat of his fingertips, he thought of a reasonable reason.
"I'll rub it for you" Chen Hao was a little distressed, blaming himself for taking care of business, but he didn't expect that he was doing so much work. Although the work is simple, it is a non-stop work whose hands can stand it.
"It's okay, it's okay, you see" Meng Yi endured the pain, and smiled as if he shook his hand easily, "Just cramp and break it back, let's see if I broke something." ”
Of course, he didn't think he could hurt his own things, so light that he could break them in one fall. It's just that he has to distract Chen Hao from himself, and he can't pick it up.
Chen Hao picked up the black candle and looked at it, not only did it not break, but it was not even touched by the dust on the ground.
Meng Yi approached her side and looked carefully at the strange candle, the whole body was black, and even the wick was black. Extremely short, as if it had been burned over what had been left. But looking at the mellow appearance, there is no trace of burning.
He no longer hastily stretched out his hand and induced Chen Hao to turn the candle to check.
released his spiritual power, but found that the black candle was a bit of a meaning that oil and salt could not enter, and he did not reveal any spiritual power, but his spiritual power could not enter it.
This is even stranger. If it was just an ordinary candle, it would be impossible to burn him, but if it wasn't an ordinary candle, why wouldn't there be any signs of spiritual power?
Meng Yi couldn't figure it out, frowning and thinking that this was definitely not the time to study this strange thing, and he would have to find another opportunity later.
Entering the store, Chen Hao casually threw the candle into the drawer and began to call the flower garden to arrange the purchase.
Taking advantage of this moment, Meng Yi called 9527 and 10211 out the back door, and asked softly, "Do you feel any strange people or spiritual powers?"
9527 and 10211 looked at each other and shook their heads, "Boss, you can't sense it, how can we sense it?"
Also. Meng Yi frowned and thought for a while, "Look at your life notes, are there any souls going to cross today?"
The two obediently spread their hands together, and in an instant, two thin sheets of tissue paper containing black aura appeared in their palms. The people next to him couldn't see it, even Meng Yi could only see the paper and not see what was written on it.
With just one glance, the two shook their heads and replied definitively, "No." ”
According to Chen Hao's guess, someone in the young man's family should have died. But this area is under the jurisdiction of 9527 and 10211, and it is impossible for there to be a dead soul and they have not received a letter of life.
Therefore, speculation is just speculation, and the young man who has no spiritual power fluctuations on his body is definitely not a real dead person in the family.
If there were no black candles, Meng Yi might have thought that the other party might have stopped by to buy flowers to pay tribute to someone who had passed away. But the unusual black candle was in the drawer.
So... The Spiritual Power Secret Clan, like the evolved version of the evil spirit that Zhao Gao raised last time and can hide the breath of the evil spirit.
I can't be sure. The other party has not revealed any spiritual power on his body.
Meng Yi had another thought in his heart, he whispered a few words to 9527, and the three of them entered the store.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, before the doors were ready to open, the goods from the flower garden arrived.
While Chen Hao was counting and checking, 9527 quietly opened the drawer, and Yi Mengyi carefully rubbed the black candle with his finger.
...... Boss, you cheat me.
There are very few bad emotions, and they have always been painless, although 9527's emotions are gradually recovering, but it is impossible to be completely human-like all at once.
In the same way, the pain cannot recover so quickly all at once.
But at this moment, 9527 really feels like a needle being burned by a fire, poking directly into his hand from the tip of his finger.
The burning stinging pain stabbed violently down the arm all the way down the shoulder, and then from the shoulder to the chest.
Although it didn't hurt enough to collapse, it was enough to make 9527's canthal teeth crack for a while.
10211 leaned over and looked at 9527 with a blank face as he grinned and couldn't scream, and suddenly felt a little funny, pulling the corners of his mouth to reveal his trademark zombie grin.
Come on, you try it.
9527 didn't want to go to pit 10211, but he thought this thing was too strange, could it be that some magic weapon against them couldn't be done?
I've always heard humans say that they drive ghosts and catch demons or something, but they are not ghosts and not demons, so why does Mao have such a thing?
The next moment, Chen Hao walked in with the bill of goods, and saw the twin brothers' grinning and distorted expressions, "What's wrong?"
...... Meng Yi.
Glancing at the two of them, he said speechlessly, "They have cramps." ”
