Chapter 015: Ghost Story
Tonight, there was a thin layer of clouds in the sky, and the moon was hazy, refracting a dark red glow.
At this time in the past, there were many people coming and going on the North Gate Road, there were many foodies, drinking and boxing, so it was not lively.
But for some reason, it's a bit lonely today.
In front of the snack bar in the other world, it was full, but everyone's interest didn't seem to be high, they were all eating quietly, and few people talked.
Diner Lao Liu Tou is a person who likes to be lively, and he feels that the atmosphere is uncomfortable, so he wants to warm up the scene, so he originally decided to tell a joke, but in front of joke masters like Qin Fei, he didn't dare to show ugliness.
With an idea, combined with today's atmosphere, let's just tell a ghost story.
"It's a real thing, and it's happening right in our county. ”
Lao Liu's style of telling ghost stories is completely different from when telling jokes, and the tone is very deep, which immediately attracts the attention of the surrounding diners.
"There is a scoundrel named Zhang San, who steals chickens and dogs all day long and has nothing to do. ”
One day, Zhang San was wandering blindly on the street again, and suddenly saw a woman, who was really beautiful as a fairy, as if she did not eat fireworks in the world. ”
Zhang San had evil thoughts, so he followed the woman all the way to the west of the city. Everyone on the west side of the city knows that it is sparsely populated. ”
Zhang San felt that he could start, but at this moment, the woman suddenly entered the door of a house. ”
Zhang San hurriedly stepped forward to push the door, but locked it from the inside, and couldn't help but be annoyed. ”
"It just so happens that there is a cat's eye on the door, Zhang San wants to see the scene inside, guess what he saw?"
The diners nervously asked, "What did you see?"
Old Liu Tou shook his head and sighed: "I didn't look at anything, it was red, as if cinnabar was the color of water." ”
"Whew!" the diners were speechless, and they didn't talk about anything for a long time.
"The story isn't over yet. Old Liu Tou took a sip of beer and said unhurriedly, "At this time, an old woman came on the road, and Zhang San stepped forward to inquire who lived in this house and whose surname was." ”
The old woman looked at the house, said her surname, and then said, "It's a pity, the mistress hanged herself the year before last, and there has been no one living since then." ”
Hearing this, the diners felt their hairs stand on end, and they already guessed that the woman was a ghost.
Old Liu Tou snorted coldly, how could the story be so simple, lowered his voice, and pretended to be mysterious: "I heard that the eyes of the hanged person will be bloodshot, and they will be red like cinnabar." ”
The subtext is that Zhang San looked at the inside of the house through the cat's eyes, and it was red, wouldn't he look at the eyes of the hanged ghost from a door away?
The diners were stunned, and they all shouted in fright: "Lao Liu, you are paralyzed, this is also infiltrating." ”
"I don't dare to walk alone at night. ”
Chu Youlan was young, and she was so frightened by this ghost story that she burst into tears, and shrank behind Qin Fei: "Brother Qin, I'm afraid." ”
I have to say that Lao Liutou's ghost story is told quite at a high level, and even Qin Fei feels furious when he hears it.
He thought for a moment and said to Chu Youlan: "This story can also be understood from another angle, that Zhang San is a famous scoundrel, and it must be bad intentions to target other girls." The old woman said this on purpose, in order to scare away this ruffian. ”
Huh, Chu Youlan smashed it, it made sense, and she didn't seem to be so scared.
The diners have gradually calmed down, so it is.
Old Liu Tou originally watched everyone being frightened and complacent, but now he was demolished by Qin Fei, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss Qin, how can you explain the cinnabar red in the cat's eyes?"
"It's very simple, in order to prevent people outside from peeking inside through the cat's eye, I happened to use a piece of red paper to cover it. Qin Fei gave a reasonable explanation, of course, it was not that he deliberately raised the bar, but just to alleviate Chu Youlan's fear.
But the old Liu Tou blushed and had a thick neck: "What's the matter, listening to Boss Qin, there are no ghosts in this world at all?"
Qin Fei grew up under the Zhenghong Flag, to be honest, he really doesn't believe in these things, but this is the other world, the Xuanwu Continent, and the ghost knows if there is one.
It's better to stay away.
So Qin Fei didn't answer Lao Liu, but said: "I suddenly remembered an incident that I personally experienced in the early years. ”
Tsk, this is the rhythm of telling ghost stories again, although the diners feel scared, they want to hear it very much, and they pricked up their ears: "Boss Qin, talk about it." ”
"In the early years, I worked in a carriage shop, running the road from Yunjiang County to Bishui County. ”
"One night, and it was this evening, the moon was hairy, and red as blood. I was on my way back to the last of the passengers, and the horses were running fast. ”
"But as I passed through a wilderness, a woman dressed in white waved to me in front of me. ”
"Although I got off work, I felt that the barren mountains and mountains should give people a ride at night, so I let the woman get into the carriage. ”
"I asked the girl where she was going, and she said Black Wind Pass. ”
When the diners heard this, they exclaimed, "This is a famous mass grave!"
"It's over, Boss Qin, you're a ghost!"
Qin Fei smiled: "I also had this idea at that time, but I was young and bold at that time, so I sent the girl to Heifeng Ao." ”
"I said, girl, it's here, get out of the car. There was a slight movement in the carriage, but when I looked back, the girl was gone. ”
"At that time, I didn't dare to ask for the car money, so I was about to drive away, when suddenly a woman with a bloody face grabbed my leg!"
"Ahh
The rest of the diners were also hugging each other, shivering, and feeling cold to the bone marrow in the summer.
Qin Fei coughed: "I just heard the woman say quietly, master, next time don't park the carriage by the ditch, fall to my death." ”
The diners looked confused, and after half a ring, they beat their chests with laughter and wept.
Made, I thought it was a female ghost, but it turned out that someone fell into the ditch.
Chu Youlan's face was originally pale with fright, but now she also turned red and fluttered, smiling with flowers.
The snack bar swept away the previous depression.
After listening to this story, Lao Liu Tou was not angry, he was impressed, he was able to tell ghost stories as jokes, and he learned a hand again.
......
Today, there are few passers-by at the North Gate, and the night is not yet deep, all the shops are closed early, Qin Fei and Chu Youlan have packed up the tables, chairs and benches, and are ready to rest.
At this time, a soldier in armor came to the store: "Can you still eat?"
"The shop is closed, and the customers will be in an early tomorrow. Qin Fei looked up and down, looking at the military uniform system, it should be the city gate of Yunjiang County.
The soldier said with a bitter face: "That kid in my family heard that the crayfish in the snack bar in the other world are delicious, so he asked me to buy one, but every time I finish the task, the snack bar is closed, and I came here early today, and I asked Boss Qin to make it convenient." ”
These guards gave up their small family for everyone, but it was worthy of admiration, so Qin Fei agreed: "Okay, then you wait a while." ”
The soldier thanked him, then sat aside and waited, and soon, Qin Fei boiled a pot of spicy crayfish and a pot of snails, packed them, and handed them to the soldiers.
The soldier was surprised: "Boss, I only ordered twenty crayfish." "The guards are not high, and they are reluctant to spend too much money.
"It's all leftover ingredients, and if you don't eat it today, it will be wasted, take it, and spend more time with your family." Qin Fei smiled.
The soldier's eyes were a little red, his body stood straight, and his right hand hit his left chest twice, which was the military salute of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, expressing gratitude.
......
The next morning, Chu Youlan opened the door and found that there were two packages of things at the door, and when she looked closely, one package was spicy crayfish, and the other was fried snails.
The little girl said to Qin Fei angrily: "Really, Brother Qin kindly helped him cook last night, why did that person leave it at the door." ”
Originally, those ingredients were to be used for supper and eaten by themselves, but they were wasted like this, and Chu Youlan was heartbroken.
Qin Fei also didn't understand, that soldier went all the way and paid all the money, but lost the snacks?
While he was puzzled, several soldiers escorted a freight wagon at a gallop: "Dodge, dodge, don't get in the way!"
There was a pile of hay on the truck, and there was a soldier covered in blood lying on the hay, although it was a glimpse, Qin Fei recognized that it was the soldier who bought crayfish from him last night.
An insider sighed: "Have you heard, yesterday afternoon, there was a trafficker stealing a child, and the guard Li Bing went to pursue it single-handedly." ”
"In the early hours of this morning, Li Bing was covered in injuries and was found in a mountain col, still holding the abducted child in his arms. ”
"I heard that the child is fine, but Li Bing was stabbed three times and is gone. ”
Hearing these words, Qin Fei fell into an ice cellar, stepped forward to grab the person who spoke, and asked, "Who do you say is gone?" Li Bing came to my store to buy food last night!"
This person looked at an idiot: "Li Bing chased out of the city when he was in You, and many people saw it, but he was only found in the suburbs until now, how to go back to the city to buy food when he was in the middle of the day?"
Eventually, Qin Fei let go of his hand.
"Brother Qin, could it be that the one who came to buy food last night was the ghost of Brother Li?" Chu Youlan pulled Qin Fei to the side, looking afraid.
"Even if there is, it's a heroic soul!" Qin Fei corrected.
Chu Youlan nodded, such a good person, even if he is sacrificed, will defend Yunjiang County and will not turn into a demon and harm people.
There really is no need to be afraid.
Immediately, Qin Fei looked at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, clenched his right fist, and slammed his chest on the same posture as Li Bing last night.
