Chapter 4: The Soul Ferryman

"What, are you serious?" Li Ergou was surprised.

He was surprised not that Da Mei went to find Sister Bao'er last night, but that Sister Bao'er actually asked him to accompany her at night.

Happiness comes too suddenly, and when the time comes, there are many possibilities for lonely men and widows to be in the same room.

Li Ergou was thinking, is his spring coming?

"Hmm."

Sister Bao'er hesitated, but nodded and said seriously: "Ergou, in the company, I only trust you alone!" ”

"Okay, wrap it up on me."

Li Ergou patted his chest and said, he even hit a ghost, what else is there to be afraid of?

No girl is afraid, and he naturally can't be cowardly.

But then again, this beautiful woman was quite busy last night, and after scaring him in the elevator, she still had time to scare Sister Bao'er.

I just don't know why she suddenly cheated the corpse.

Is it really like Zhang Qiang said, Da Mei came back to seek revenge on her boyfriend?

But it doesn't make sense!

Since he is looking for a boyfriend to seek revenge, what does it matter to him Li Ergou? Li Ergou dares to guarantee that he only loves Sister Bao'er alone, and he has no idea about Da Mei.

"Don't be too scared, maybe you were dazzled last night." Li Ergou poured a cup of hot water for Sister Bao'er and comforted her.

"Maybe!"

Sister Bao'er took the hot water handed over by Li Ergou, still a little frightened, but it was much better than before.

Li Ergou sighed, he originally wanted to tell Sister Bao'er about what happened to him last night, but when he saw this situation, he endured it again.

Otherwise, this girl would have to be scared half to death, and maybe she wouldn't even dare to come to class.

Li Ergou comforted Sister Bao'er a few more words, and then returned to his seat and started working.

During this time, he also found time to update a chapter of the novel.

In these years, readers are uncles, and the amount of updates must be managed. Otherwise, if one of them is not happy, they will send you a blade.

This group of people is more terrifying than ghosts, and the "ghost of hell" is the best example, Li Ergou can't afford to mess with it.

At lunchtime, the third uncle made an unprecedented call to Li Ergou, saying that he was free to go to the convenience store across the road.

It just so happened that Li Ergou was also full of questions about what happened last night, and after eating lunch in the company cafeteria, he went downstairs.

When Li Ergou saw the third uncle, he was shocked.

The previous convenience store was actually bought by the third uncle, and it was also redecorated, and the signboard at the door was impressively written with the five big characters "Soul Ferryman".

Although Yangcheng is not a first-tier city, Fengyuan Building is also located in the west of the city, but the shops of more than 20 square meters are at least five or six hundred thousand.

The third uncle is just a farmer, an out-and-out farmer, where did he get so much money?

There was only an old table of eight immortals and a few chairs in the room, and a layer of yellow cloth was spread on the table, on which were painted with gossip patterns.

In addition, there is a bamboo tube filled with bamboo skewers.

The strangest thing is the third uncle's dress, wearing a long cloth shirt, sitting on a chair, looking like a master.

"Third uncle, what are you doing?" Li Ergou said curiously.

The third uncle looks like a god stick who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.

"See for yourself!"

The third uncle still didn't want to say more, stretched out his hand and pointed to the signboard at the door, without even raising his head.

Fortunately, Li Ergou grew up with him since he was a child, and he knew that the third uncle was a person who didn't talk much, otherwise he would have to be angry to death.

Li Ergou came to the door and looked at the plaque that read "Soul Ferryman" again, only to find that there were a few lines of small characters below that he had ignored.

"Settle down, infer marriage, and look at each other...... and hunting corpses and monsters! ”

Every word on it refreshes Li Ergou's cognition of the third uncle, especially the four big words "looking for corpses and catching demons", which makes people shudder.

What kind of society is it now, and how many people will still believe in these things?

The third uncle opened a shop with great fanfare, didn't do anything else, and did this kind of thing as a full-time soul ferry, didn't he have to wait to starve to death?

In Li Ergou's opinion, the third uncle is inflated.

Although the third uncle rescued Li Ergou from the maze of ghosts hitting the wall last night, it was just a coincidence, and compared with those masters of catching ghosts and subduing demons, it was still far behind!

The third uncle has never married in his life, has no children and no daughters, but he can't watch him go astray.

Li Ergou thought about it and decided to persuade the third uncle, so he walked in and said, "Third uncle, or I'll help you find a job like a security guard!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the third uncle turned pale and asked, "Security?" Can they really keep one side safe? ”

"Ergou, don't worry about the third uncle's affairs, I called you here just to tell you that the third uncle has come to Yangcheng, if there is anything in the future, you can come here to find me." After a pause, the third uncle continued.

After Li Ergou listened, his heart suddenly warmed.

The third uncle is still the third uncle before, no matter how bad he speaks, he will always stand up when Li Ergou needs it most.

It is precisely because of him that Li Ergou can successfully graduate from college.

In any case, the third uncle was kind to him.

But the third uncle suddenly came to Yangcheng and opened this soul ferry shop, is it really just to get closer to him?

Li Ergou felt that the third uncle must have something to hide from him. He didn't know before that the third uncle still had the ability to tell fortunes.

It's just that if the third uncle doesn't want to say it, Li Ergou will be useless even if he asks.

From childhood to adulthood, the third uncle has this kind of character, he wants you to know, even if he doesn't ask, he will tell you. If you don't want you to know, even if you say it, he won't say anything more.

"Got it, Third Uncle."

Li Ergou nodded, and then began to visit the third uncle's store.

"Also, Fengyuan Mansion is not peaceful, you better change jobs, or resign to tell fortunes with me." After a while, the third uncle suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Li Ergou was surprised.

Fengyuan Mansion is not very peaceful, this Li Ergou knows, but let him resign to tell fortunes, then his university is not in vain?

"You don't care, just resign anyway." The third uncle said meaningfully.

As soon as Li Ergou wanted to say something more, a middle-aged couple came to the door, looking a few years older than the third uncle.

"Can I tell fortunes here?"

As soon as she entered the door, the middle-aged woman asked.

Obviously, the two of them walked in after seeing the plaque of "Soul Ferryman" at the door.

After all, in these years, there are really not many fortune tellers who have opened stores.

"Yes, I don't know what fate you want to count?" The third uncle was also very direct and asked straight to the point.

Li Ergou was also interested, wanting to see how the third uncle told fortunes.

As they spoke, the middle-aged couple had already walked in and found a chair to sit down.

"I don't know what to call my brother?" As soon as the man sat down, he stretched out his hand to the third uncle and asked.

"Li Sanyuan."

The third uncle just stretched out his hand and touched him lightly, and then said lightly.

The middle-aged man didn't care, and handed the third uncle a cigarette and said, "I heard that you can help find someone, whether it's dead or alive, you can find it?" ”

"Not bad."

The third uncle nodded, but didn't pick up the cigarette.

"Can you find someone who has been missing for a few years?" The middle-aged man was not annoyed, retracted his hand stupidly, and then asked.

The third uncle was a little impatient, and said in an unhappy tone: "No matter how long you have been missing, whether it is a person or a corpse, you can find it, just say who you want to find!" ”

Seeing that the third uncle was angry, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "That's the case, three years ago, the dog drove in the middle of the night near the Fengyuan Building and disappeared mysteriously, and the police couldn't find any clues, so we wanted to know if he was still alive." ”

"Yes, in the past three years, I have been unable to sleep and eat all day long, and I always dream that my son tells me that he is overwhelmed."

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the middle-aged woman also spoke.

After a pause, she added: "Even if he really has an accident, we want him to be buried as soon as possible, and if Mr. can help us with this, we will definitely thank him!" ”

Li Ergou was curious about how the third uncle would deal with it, when he saw the third uncle's brows suddenly furrowed.

Then he stretched out three fingers and said to the middle-aged couple: "Thirty thousand, I want cash, not a penny less!" ”
