Chapter 68: The First Commission
Uh...
After a few days in a piece of paper, I think I'm well-informed.
Some have seen people asking for their lives, some have seen people who don't know that they are dead, and some have seen people who have come to buy Huangquan Road supplies.
But it's the first time I've seen such a 'ghost guest' who wants to fight ghosts.
"That... May I ask what you are going to do when you buy that kind of thing? I asked with some hesitation.
Most of the things in a paper crown are ordinary spiritual products, and the spiritual products that can be used to fight ghosts and kill ghosts also need to be used by the shopkeeper of a paper cloth, which is what I know so far.
Not to mention that I can't sell these things to a ghost, and even if I could, he wouldn't be able to use them.
The old man was wearing an ink-colored Tang costume, and the Tang costume was embroidered with white clouds, which set off the old man's spirit.
His snow-white hair was meticulously combed, and although his skin was covered with age spots, he was not at all as angry as some evil spirits, and it was even said that he almost remained the same as before.
I didn't think he should have been dead for long, so I was more curious about his purpose.
"Alas, when people get old, there will always be a day to go. It's just that it's a little uneasy to go. The old man asked me to take a seat, and then sat down on the stool in front of my counter, his fingers habitually turning the jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, "My descendant has recently been entangled by an evil ghost, because the old man is also almost at the end of his breath, so he can see it, and he wants to do something for his descendants before leaving." ”
I saw that there were no other customers for the time being, so I also moved a stool and sat opposite the old man, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard his words: "What? Old man, your descendants are haunted by ghosts? ”
"It's a dark ghost." The old man's eyes flashed, and he looked at me and said, "Young man, aren't you afraid to see me?" ”
I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders when I heard this, and said, "The old man laughed, and said that he was not afraid of being false. But if I'm afraid, I won't be able to work here, and if you're here, you should know what this shop does, right? ”
The corners of the old man's lips twitched, and he nodded: "People live for a long time, and they will always know more." In that case, I can be more natural and not scare you with this look. ”
As he spoke, the old man's appearance changed obviously, and his originally ruddy face turned blue and white, but it was not terrifying.
I didn't expect this old man to choose his appearance because he would scare me, and I couldn't help but have a good impression of this old man's ghost: "Old man, I have to tell you the truth." I do have some ghost-fighting products here, but those things can only be used by specific people, and even if I sell them to you, you won't be able to use them. ”
Hearing my words, the old man obviously showed a look of disappointment: "Really? It seems that the old man can only fight with that ghost. ”
Hearing this, I knew that the old man was going to fight the evil spirit that had entangled his descendants with his damaged soul, but doing so would probably lead to a serious consequence.
The soul body is different from the physical body, and the damaged soul body is still unharmed, but once the soul body is too seriously injured, it will face the fate of the soul scattered.
"Old man, listen to my advice. Your life is over, it's better to cut off the dust and get on the road as soon as possible. I organized the language and opened my mouth to persuade, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and maybe your descendants will have noble people to help them." ”
"Nobleman, young man, where in the world are there so many nobles." The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at me, "Young man, can you catch ghosts?" ”
Damn, I advise you to let go, not for you to come to me!
"I won't." I shook my head flatly, I'd had enough of the ghosts involved in the past few days.
When the old man heard my decisive answer, he laughed instead, and said as if relieved: "Young man, you should help me, old man." I won't do you any harm afterwards. ”
"No, old man, I'm not a Heavenly Master." I tried to defend myself, but the old man was clearly the kind of human spirit when he was alive, and he chuckled and took his wrench from his hand, "Young man, how much do you think this wrench is worth?" ”
"This..." I stared at the cyan jade wrench and shook my head.
Although I studied ancient literature, I don't know anything about antiques!
"With it, you can probably buy a house in Yanjing." The old man had a sly smile on his lips, and when he said that, I admitted that my eyes were really straight, "According to the old man, your family is not very wealthy, and this wrench should improve your life a little." ”
In fact, I'm really a little short of money right now. Because he was lying in the intensive care unit for several days, plus the cost of hospitalization, the thousands of yuan for Shan Yufei alone were not enough.
What's worse is that I heard in the conversation between my mother and grandmother that one of my cousins is about to get married, but she is married to a wealthy family, and my mother and grandmother have been worried for several days for the sake of money.
Because my family background is not good among relatives, my family has always been subjected to some sneering and sneering intentionally or unintentionally at some relatives gatherings that we have to go to.
Originally, I couldn't do anything about it, because I was hospitalized, and I took out some of my savings.
But now that an opportunity is in front of me, it would be false to say that I am not moved.
The old man obviously saw my intentions too, he smiled a little, and put the wrench directly in front of me: "As long as you help me once, it will be yours." ”
Looking at this old man with a relieved look on his face, my heart was boiling. Because I actually have another choice, I can get this wrench without helping the old man, and it is here that the old man's ghost is scattered with the spirit of the underworld!
I opened my mouth, sighed, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
I don't consider myself a pure good guy, but I don't admit that I'm a bad guy with no conscience.
In the face of people who want to harm me, I can be hard-hearted. However, this kind of thing, which is almost the same as killing people and looting treasures, I can't do it anyway.
"Good, good." The old man said yes three times, breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, and looked at me with some concern, "Young man, the old man is also forced to do so. If you think you can deal with it, help my descendant, if you also find it tricky, then save your life, the old man won't blame you. ”
I smiled helplessly: "Since I promised you, I will do my best." However, the kid also knows the truth that life is precious, and if he can't do anything, please don't be surprised by the old man. ”
"I can see that you are a young man who walks the talk, and there is a kind of conviction in your eyes." The old man nodded, "This wrench, the old man will hand it over to you first." Tomorrow you go to Donghua Central Hospital, you can go to a girl named Song Anna, show her this ring, and she will know. ”
I was listening to his explanation, but when I heard the name Song Anna, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Anna Song? It's probably not the same.
The name Anna Song reminds me of a very confusing, vague memory.
I shook my head, just about to ask for more details, but the old man was gone, leaving only the jade wrench still sitting quietly on the table.
I sighed softly and picked up the wrench, feeling a little cool in my hand. Just looking at the appearance, I really don't see how much it can be worth a house.
Although the old man left, I knew that he would not be at ease to set foot on the Yellow Springs Road until I settled the affairs of his descendants.
Lilac once said that the best time for a person to set foot on the Huangquan Road after death is within seven days. After this time, the spirits will become resentful, and even the spirits that are not evil in the first place are likely to turn into evil spirits.
When it was time to close, I packed up my clothes, took a nap on the recliner in the back hall, and took the bus to Donghua Market at about half past eight.
When I found Donghua Central Hospital, I was suddenly surprised, and my feelings were that I had been lying in the hospital for nearly a week.
"Uncle, thank you." After finding Donghua Market, I thanked the dog walker who brought me.
The uncle held his husky in one hand and waved his hand to me: "It's okay, everyone in the city knows if you ask about this hospital." Young man, are you coming to see a doctor? ”
"It depends on the individual." I replied.
The uncle said, "Then you go quickly, I suggest you don't stay too long, this hospital is said to be haunted recently!" ”
The dog walker finished speaking and left, leaving me there with black lines in my head.
Since I entered a piece of paper, how can I be like pushing open the door of another world, and there are ghosts everywhere I go?
Shaking my head, I patted my satchel containing the spiritual products and divine products, and felt somewhat relieved, after all, there were no cloves and single feathers flying beside me, and it was the first time that I promised others to come and catch ghosts alone.
As I walked to the hospital, I thought that when I was free for the next two days, I would go to the barren mound of Qifeng Mountain to see how the thousand-year-old bones had been wounded in the tomb.
When I got to the counter, maybe I came a little too early, and there was no one in the lobby of the hospital.
"Ah, it's you." A somewhat surprised voice sounded, and the nurse on duty in the hall walked up and said, "Why are you here again, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
I recognized it as the nurse who was on duty when I came to ask Lilac that day, and I recognized me at a glance because I had given her too much of a deep impression that day.
"No, I'm still looking for someone today." I'm a little embarrassed.
The nurse on duty laughed when she heard this and said, "Who are you looking for?" Don't faint again. ”
Do I look like I'm weak and can't help but become Lin Daiyu?
I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "I'm here to find Anna Song, is there someone named Anna Song here?" ”
As soon as she heard that I was here to find Song Anna, the nurse on duty put away her smile and nodded: "I know too well, but there are many people who come to her every day." She's mostly thankful, so..."
Who is it? Is it such a big deal?
I said, "I'm looking for her in a hurry." ”
"Most people say that, but after meeting each other, they just give flowers and gifts." The nurse on duty shrugged her shoulders, then looked at me again, "You don't seem to have any roses or gifts, and your clothes look casual..."
Listening to her words, I silently rolled my eyes in my heart, and said with a smile on my face: "I'm here to do errands, not to date." Sister, take me to her. ”
The nurse on duty seemed to think about it for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then you can come with me." But you'd better be careful, that lady has been a bit of a temper lately..."
Listening to the kind reminder of the nurse on duty, I don't know why, I have a very bad premonition about this unmasked Miss Song Anna.
