Chapter 502: In one sentence

readx;

Zuo Shaoyang is really a little creepy this time, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world? Busy said to Bai Zhihan: "Go!" Let's go back! ”

Pulling Bai Zhihan, the two got into the rain curtain, stepped on the rain in the yard, and quickly returned to the lobby. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The people in the lobby were still asleep, and they could even hear the snoring coming from Shoutongzi. Presumably, in the sound of snoring and the roaring rain, Bai Zhihan's call just now did not wake everyone up.

Zuo Shaoyang took Bai Zhihan's hand and got into his compartment, seeing that the screen between him and Qing Meizi had been re-blocked, knowing that Qing Meizi must have estimated that Zuo Shaoyang's pretty girl would stare at them, but I was afraid that there would be no chance to go out to talk to Zuo Shaoyang again, and it would be inconvenient to talk with so many people sleeping next to them in the lobby. So Suo re-blocked the shelf.

This is very good, so as not to be confused, Zuo Shaoyang turned his head and said to Bai Zhihan: "Are you still afraid?" ”

Bai Zhihan nodded, leaning on his delicate body and trembling slightly. I don't know if it's the coolness of the second half of the night or if I'm really scared.

"Then remove the screen, it's equivalent to us sleeping together, so we're not afraid."

"Hmm!" Bai Zhihan nodded gratefully. Bai Zhihan is still Zuo Shaoyang's personal maid, everyone knows this, and in ancient times, personal maids were meant to live with their masters, so even if they were seen by others at dawn, there was nothing wrong with it.

Bai Zhihan lightly closed the screen between the two cubicles, and went over to lie down on his bed.

Zuo Shaoyang also lay down, next to her, reached over, and gently stroked her face, Bai Zhihan reached out to hold his hand, kissed him lightly on the lips, and stared at him happily with bright eyes.

Zuo Shaoyang also pulled her hand over and asked, and said softly: "Sleep, it's okay, I'm next to me." ”

"Hmm!" Bai Zhihan pulled his hand back, pressed it against the twin peaks on her chest, and fell asleep contentedly.

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't sleep for a while, and kept listening to the sounds around him to see if he could catch the footsteps of the mysterious woman again.

But the night passed, and nothing was heard.

Zuo Shaoyang only fell asleep at dawn. By the time he woke up, it was already dawn. The shelf between him and Bai Zhihan had been re-blocked, and Bai Zhihan couldn't be seen, Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback, hurriedly got up, and shouted: "Zhi'er!" ”

A person came from behind the screen in the direction of the door, it was Bai Zhihan: "I'm here, master." ”

"You're already up?"

There was another person next to him, it was Qing Meizi, and he grinned: "Our big guy has just gotten up at dawn, so you can sleep lazy!" You pretty girl doesn't let people call you yet! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was very embarrassed, and hurriedly got up to tidy up his robe. They all sleep in clothes, so they don't need to wear robes, they just need to be neat.

Bai Zhihan helped him recomb his long hair, coil it into a bun and wear a soft foot veil.

Sun Simiao was sitting on a bench under the platform in the lobby, looking at the gloomy sky outside, when he heard the sound behind him, he turned his head to look at him: "Senior brother, how are you sleeping?" ”

"It's okay. What about Senior Brother? ”

"It's not good, there are a few little mice running in and out, arguing."

"Little mouse?" Seeing his grinning expression, Zuo Shaoyang immediately understood that Sun Simiao was joking with himself, and with his profound Taoist skills, he must have heard the three of them entering and leaving the lobby.

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qing Meizi, who stuck out her tongue and grinned.

Qing Lingzi next to him said coldly: "Yes, the little mouse wants to steal his mouth, but he can't steal it, it's really funny!" ”

Qing Meizi snorted, her pretty face twisted away, and she didn't see Ling Zi clearly.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly diverted the topic: "Since we are all up, let's go to the street to find a shop." When this is done, I can rest assured. ”

The group walked out of the yamen and along the street.

This Quzhou is really dilapidated, but it is not uncommon for rich children to be brightly dressed. They walked around the city first, originally wanting to see if there were any pharmacies or medical centers for sale. This is the most ready-made method, and you can start a business when you take over. However, it was not found.

Then, I can only see if there are any other shops transferred, and it is very strange that there is no shop in the huge city of Quzhou, and there is no transfer notice posted by any shop.

In desperation, Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to ask Zhen Lingzi and them to ask everywhere if there were any shops to transfer, and they could rent and sell, but as a result, it was until noon, and none of them expressed their willingness to sell or transfer the shop, and they didn't know who would transfer the shop.

Zuo Shaoyang said that the price was raised, and the price was even raised to twice the price of the shops in the capital, but many shops that looked very dilapidated or whose business was obviously not good were not willing to transfer.

It was late in the evening, and they didn't even find a shop to negotiate the transfer.

In the evening, the soldier held a banquet to entertain Zuo Shaoyang and them as usual. Zuo Shaoyang said: "Lord Si Bing, I don't know if you can invite some merchants with better ports to eat together, we want to buy shops, but no one is willing to sell them after a day." If we can find a merchant who is willing to transfer the shop, we are willing to pay double the price. ”

The soldier was very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "This ......, our assassin history has already set a rule, whether it is the dinner of this yamen or the dinner of officials from above and down, they are not allowed to invite local businessmen to accompany them, let alone accept the banquets of businessmen......"

"I don't want them to be a banquet, I just want to buy or lease a shop to open a pharmacy, invite them to dinner, and discuss the purchase of a shop with them."

"That's it," Si Bing was still hesitant, and said with a red face: "It's not a secret, Lord Zuo, the lowly position is only responsible for the barracks, and the people who deal with him are only the people, and he hardly knows any businessmen, and the lowly position is newly transferred to this Quzhou." A lot of people are not familiar with it, they ......, this, hehe, doesn't give me any face. So ......"

Zuo Shaoyang understood, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, since this is the case, don't force it, let's figure it out ourselves." ”

The soldiers apologized for their sins, and still called a few people who had a good amount of alcohol yesterday to accompany him.

Si Bing may have been a little ashamed because the things explained by the official were not done well, and he vigorously persuaded and toasted. As a result, the banquet was not over, and he himself got drunk first.

Zuo Shaoyang asked the soap subordinates to help him down, seeing that the sun had just gone down and there was still more than an hour before the curfew, and he didn't want to go back to sleep in the gloomy lobby so early, so he proposed to go to the street again and ask, maybe he would find the shop to transfer.

The group walked along the main street of Quzhou, and the decent shops along the street had been asked during the day, and many of the shops even knew them, and when they passed by, they nodded kindly.

After walking forward for a while, I faintly heard the sound of suona and crying, mixed with the sound of chanting scriptures that I couldn't understand. It can't be someone's funeral, right?

Walked over slowly, only to see a pergola set up in front of a large courtyard on the street, high, surrounded by white paper lanterns, bright and dangling, several large pieces of white cloth hanging down from the pergola, blowing and fluttering in the evening breeze, like a slender elf dancing in the night sky.

Under the pergola, a black coffin was parked in the middle position, the coffin lid was placed aside, the coffin was open, and the body had been put into the coffin, and the coffin lid had not yet been nailed. In front of the spiritual seat in front of the coffin, several people were crying and burning paper money, and a woman next to her was sitting on a stool, holding the coffin and crying.

Dozens of guests who came to pay their respects to the vigil sat around a few square tables under the pergola, talking and laughing about something.

Ancient Chinese funerals are very interesting, adopting a detached attitude towards death, and even calling funerals joyful mourning. The family members of the deceased wept in front of the spirit, but the guests who held the wake could drink wine, eat meat, talk and laugh, and even play cards for entertainment.

The group walked before the pergola and did not stop, but at this moment, someone in the pergola shouted: "Doctor Zuo! Is it Dr. Zuo from the capital? ”

Zuo Shaoyang was very strange, he couldn't imagine that there was still his acquaintance in Quzhou City? Hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in the pergola standing up and waving at him.

This person was the middle-aged man of the family they had met the day before at an inn in a small village outside the city of Quzhou, and the couple were going to Suzhou with a young sick child to see a doctor. Zuo Shaoyang once concluded that the child was critically ill but had a strong pulse and that he would definitely die, and he couldn't survive the next day, so he persuaded them not to go to Suzhou, and hurried back to Quzhou to prepare for the future, but they still went to Suzhou.

Zuo Shaoyang lightly arched his hand: "Exactly." ”

The middle-aged man walked over quickly, bowed, and said with tears: "Doctor Zuo, thank you for reminding me yesterday, so that my son was saved from dying in a foreign country and can return to his hometown." ”

"Oh, I saw you going in the direction of Suzhou, and I thought it was ......"

"Yes, in the evening, my son suddenly became critically ill, I remembered your words Doctor Zuo, so I decided to return to Quzhou immediately, and after entering the city, I found Dr. Ao for treatment. However, before dawn, the child ...... He's dead. ”

As soon as they heard this, Qing Miaozi, Qing Meizi and the others all looked at Zuo Shaoyang, and their faces were full of admiration.

Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew what they admired, Zuo Shaoyang saw that the reason why the middle-aged man's son couldn't survive the next day was because of the extreme contradiction between the pulse and the visit, and the judgment was a return to the light, and at that time, Qingmiaozi asked them, but he replied that he saw it based on his face.

You can tell the life and death of a person just from their faces, which is a very high realm in Taoism. Taoism is a kind of cultivation spell about life and death, how to live forever, how to live a long life, how to maintain a healthy life, for the dead, how to exceed, how to communicate with the dead, and even how to control ghosts, how to catch ghosts, and so on. And simply being able to tell a person's life and death from their face requires a very high spell. They had followed Master, Master, and Taishi for many years, and they had never seen any of them use physiognomy to determine that people would die, and they said it so accurately.
