Chapter 8: The Man Who Spent the Money

"The end of this story is terrifying." B said.

"yes, that figure was terrible when it came running." A said.

"It's not early, let's rest, shall we?" E said.

Just as they blew out the candles, the door slammed open, and the four of them stared at the door in horror at the same time, only to see a huge figure standing motionless at the door frame, and behind her was the dim light of the corridor. It's not that C is back, she's not that strong.

"Hahaha、、、、、、"

A hearty laugh burst out of the man's mouth.

"Look scares you, hahahaha、、、、、、" said the shadow.

The four of them heard it, it was their classmate Zhu, who lived in 405.

"What are you doing at such a late hour?" A asked.

"I'm here to listen to the story, I've heard it for a long time, you guys have a 'ghost story' party every Friday night." Zhu said.

"You're late, we're just done." A said.

"Go ahead, there won't be classes tomorrow weekend anyway." Zhu said.

The four of them made eye contact, unable to make up their minds.

"I also have a story, and I came prepared." Zhu said.

"Well," said A, "you tell us one, and we'll give you another one, and you're not in vain." ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhu happily walked into the house, only to find that Zhu was still holding a large bucket of popcorn in his hand.

A moved C's chair over and asked Zhu to sit down.

"Huh? How is one less? What about C? Zhu asked, while distributing the popcorn to the four of them.

"Hey! She never joined us, she just went out, and she didn't know where she went. B said, putting a grain of popcorn in his mouth.

"Oh." Zhu nodded, and said, "You are tired of talking, listen to me first, and you can rest." ”

Student Zhu is really going to do something.

She told this story very vividly and interestingly, let's listen to it together-

The name of this story is "The Man Who Spent the Stygian Coin". The man who spends the money is called the pole. Pole is not his real name, but a nickname. Because he was tall and thin, people gave him such a nickname.

The pole is a shroud shop, and everything that is used by the dead, the store has everything. The pole is a little scheming, his face is a thief, and he has a particularly immoral behavior - using the dark currency as a yuan flower. He often went out at night, went to some small stalls, and when he saw those old stall owners, he had a bad heart. The old man stall owner is old, his eyes are not good, and it is very likely that he was deceived by the pole. Even if he sees it, he is not afraid of the pole, he is in the prime of life, and he has the psychology of punching the kindergarten and kicking the nursing home. On that small street stall, there were several old people who talked about the fact that they had received the dead coin, and they thought that they had hit a ghost, but in fact, where is a ghost, it is a person who is more terrible than a ghost.

That night, it was almost 10 o'clock, and the pole came back from drinking at a friend's house (such a person also has friends?). The man must have been blind), he drank so much that he walked down the street with the lamps and the streets, and he sang "long miles and miles" in his mouth. At this time, an old lady suddenly appeared in front of her and said in an old voice: "This master, it's okay, give ten yuan." The pole was startled and hurriedly stopped. He didn't even see where the old lady came from, and she just appeared so suddenly. He looked down at the old lady, who was too short, hunched over, on crutches in one hand, holding a broken bowl in the other, and a pair of cloudy eyes staring upwards at the pole, and lifted the broken bowl in front of his face. "Okay, okay, this man." She added.

When the pole heard the word "master", he felt very comfortable, who doesn't want to be a master?

"Good, good! 100 bucks for you! As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a hundred-dollar bill fell into the broken bowl held by the old lady.

"Thank you, uncle!" The old lady said.

"You're welcome!" After the pole finished speaking, the chic figure disappeared into the night.

In the store, the plump wife of the pole was sitting behind the counter and eating melon seeds, and when she saw the pole coming back, she immediately raised her eyebrows, her eyes were round, her bloody mouth was open, and she roared: "Where did you die!" Only to come back! ”

"Drinking! Where can I go? Babbling every day! Can't you be gentle? The pole said, sitting on a chair by the counter.

"Go and pee again! What's so good about that? The plump wife twisted her plump waist and went into the back room.

The pole sat at the counter and drank tea, and it was not yet time to close.

A customer pushed the door open, and the pole hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he saw the appearance of the visitor, he hid in the back room.

"Go and get a guest! Fast! The pole said to the busty wife who was watching TV.

"Why do you have to be me?" The wife was puzzled.

"Don't talk about it yet! Go, go, go! The pole pushed my wife out the door. Then he put his ear on the door panel.

The customer who came was the old beggar lady, who thought she had found out that the money was a dead coin, and had come to him to settle the score.

The plump wife walked into the counter, and her originally fierce face smiled into a flower at the moment, "Grandma, what do you want?" "The sound is pleasant.

"Buy the Stygian." The old lady said as she shook and took out a handful of change from her pocket and put it on the counter.

"All this money is bought into Hellcoin?" Busty wife asked.

The old lady nodded.

The plump wife is a talkative person, and likes to chat with customers the most, at this moment, the chatterbox is open, and she said while counting the money: "It's better to change money, we like change the most, and it saves the trouble of finding money, and sometimes it can't be found." ”

"Alas! We beggars are different, we like big money, so we hope that someone will give us a big, big money in the world. The old lady said.

The plump wife was confused when she heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Big money in the world?" Why didn't I understand? ”

This question opened the old lady's chatterbox, and she said: "Big sister, I am a ghost in the underworld, and I have come to beg in the yang." He bought the money he begged for money and burned it to himself. Why would I do this? Because my son is not filial, I have been dead for a year, and my son has not burned a penny to me. It's chilling! My wife and I raised him to provide for him to go to school and buy him a house, how expensive the house was, he wanted to buy it, I gritted my teeth, took out all my life savings, and paid a down payment. I had a house, and I married a daughter-in-law, and they asked for a bride price of 150,000 yuan, but it cost us our old life, and we had no money, so they broke up with my son. For this, he scolded us for having no ability, thinking that our family was poor, and never gave us a good face, and as soon as we got home, he fell and beat us, saying something like 'I am fighting for my father now, I don't have a good father, and I can't live comfortably in this life'. My wife died three years before me, and she was angry with her son. When he arrived in the underworld, the king of Hades saw that he was honest and honest, honest and kind, so he was reincarnated early. I heard from the little ghost that my wife was reincarnated as a tree, and I said, since the king of Hades is optimistic about him, why don't you let him continue to be a man? The little ghost said, 'Your wife is willing, he is such a strange person, he said that he does not want to be a human being in the next life.' I think my wife must have been so heartbroken by her son that she couldn't think about it for a while. Originally, I could have been reincarnated early, but I made a mistake, I stole money from the world, and the king of Hades said, stealing, is a crime, you have committed a crime, you are going to hell, but seeing that you are pitiful in life, and there is a reason for it, it is enough, so I will punish you for two years late reincarnation, see that you are really pitiful, and think of a way to beg for money. This method is begging. Ay? Big girl, why did you stop, you go ahead and see how much you can buy. ”

The plump wife was scared silly, and she didn't move there like a vegetative person, and the smile on her face was frozen.

The old lady had no choice but to order it herself, and then looked at the price on the stack of dark coins, which had bought five bundles, so she took five bundles, went out the door, and disappeared into the night, and the change was spread out on the table.

In the middle of the night, the plump wife came back to her senses, she hurriedly closed the door of the store and came to the back room.

In the back room, the pole was shivering under the bed, and his pants were wet. He heard the old lady's words word for word.

Due to the excessive fright, the pole developed a serious illness. After he recovered, he wandered around again, with bad ideas.

Another night, when he came back from playing cards at his poker friend's house, on the way, he walked on an infrequent street, which was deserted and had few lights, which was not surprising, after all, it was very late. At the end of the street, a restaurant wafts the scent. After playing cards for a day, the pole was hungry, so he went into the restaurant.

The restaurant is very romantic, no lights, candles, a white candle is lit on every table, and the misty light makes people feel like they are in a dream. The pole picked up a corner and sat down, he looked around, there were so many customers, everyone was burying their heads in eating, and there was no one talking. The waitress came over, a little girl with a pale face, and she asked the pole, "Does the gentleman order any food?" The pole nodded, and the girl placed the menu on the table in front of him. Pole looked at the menu, all of them were dishes he had never seen before, and the names were also strange, he browsed through them, and ordered "braised rump meat", "steamed eyes", "sauce mixed with heart and liver", plus two bottles of beer. The waiter circled the food he ordered with a pen and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our restaurant will pay the food first, please go to the counter and pay the bill." The pole thought to himself, then let's do as the locals do, so he got up and went to the counter to pay.

There were also candles lit on the counter, and an old man with a smile stood at the counter collecting money. The candle on the counter is a new one, so the flame is small and the light is dimmer. The crooked mind of the pole came again, it was an old man, the light was dim, he looked at the counter, there was no money detector, in fact, there was nothing, only the old man's two hands on it. Give him the dark coin, if he is recognized, he will say that he is opening a shroud shop, and when sorting out the goods, he forgot to take out a few scattered dark coins in his pocket, it is really unintentional, please forgive me. I was originally the owner of a shroud shop!

So, the pole asked confidently, "How much?" ”

The old man looked at the menu and said, "100 pieces." ”

The old man took the money, looked at it, smiled more amiably, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please-"

The waitress also smiled more softly, and said, "Sir, go down and sit down for a while, and the food will be ready immediately." ”

The pole returned to his seat, and somehow he thought the old man and the waiter were smiling strangely.

At this moment, a fashionable girl with a wine glass walked over, the girl wore heavy makeup, her mouth was red like a knife, she was wearing a short skirt, and her long white legs were exposed. She drunkenly slumped on the chair opposite the pole and said, "This brother, you have the best death here except me, let's both of you?" Talented and beautiful. Look at them like that, they still pursue me, they don't look in the mirror, they lack arms and legs. ”

The pole listened to her words and wondered, what is this? There's something wrong with this woman's brain, right? He ignored her, turned his head to the side, and swept his gaze everywhere, just not looking at her, hoping that she would be interested and leave quickly. But this casual glance made the pole believe the woman's words, those customers are really missing arms and legs! What is this?! One by one, there was no human appearance, only to see a person's head bleeding, and his eyes rolling around his face; A flattened body, pressed by something; A fat man dripping with water; One with only half a head、、、、、、

"Sir, your dish is ready."

The pole retracted his gaze, and a boy waiter was standing at the table with a tray in the tray that the pole ordered, he put a plate of dishes on the table, and walked away with the empty tray, and when he turned around and walked, the pole found that the waiter had an axe stuck in his back.

It's a ghost shop! The pole finally understood, "Mom-" and ran away, as if stepping on Hot Wheels、、、、、、

The pole never dared to spend the stygian coins again, he felt that this was retribution, don't you like to spend the stygian coins? Good! Then hell you every day!
