The old man was dissatisfied, and said, "If you don't buy something, hurry up." ”

Chu Jiayin also spoke: "Don't be in a hurry to drive us away, if you want money, you can not sell these things." Answer a few questions and we'll pay you too. ”

Most people in this world bend their waists for money, Chu Jiayin guessed blindly, and he actually guessed correctly. Spending money to get things done is naturally the best, the Chu family has nothing else, as a businessman's family, the money is the most.

Hearing this, the old man's face softened obviously: "Okay, what do you want to ask, hurry up." A question...... A tael of silver. ”

Chu Jiayin thought, it's only one or two silver, and it's not expensive. She went out this time just in case, but she brought a thousand taels of silver.

Chu Jiayin is not familiar with ordinary people, and he doesn't know what a tael of silver means to ordinary people. She only knew that a tael of silver was very light and dispensable in her hand.

"Well, good. Are you a Taoist? ”

Chu Jiayin looked at him carefully, he didn't wear a Taoist robe, and he didn't take anything related to Taoist priests. Dressed in rags, the patches bloomed like flowers on the roadside in spring, if it weren't for being clean and tidy, Chu Jiayin would have suspected that he was a flower on the street.

The Taoist priest who spread rumors, when she and Chu Jingyan asked on the street, passers-by described it. Although he has a very recognizable beard on his face, he is a middle-aged man, not as old as the one in front of him.

But maybe you can ask him about the whereabouts of the Taoist priest. Aren't all Taoist priests going out of the school, maybe they will even meet their brothers!

"Daoist?" The old man smiled, "Little girl, what do you think is a Taoist priest?" ”

"Yes, of course...... The kind that can catch ghosts! Chu Jiayin said what he knew, but the other party laughed.

The old man smiled, looked up at her, and asked, "Do you think there are ghosts in this world?" ”

There seemed to be a layer of fog in the old man's eyes, which made it impossible for people to see through or see clearly.

"There are many strange things in the world, and they all say that no one has ever seen a ghost, so they believe that there are no ghosts in this world. But can it be proved that no one other than the person who said he had never seen a ghost had not seen it? So there may be ghosts. ”

Chu Jingyan, who was listening to Chu Jiayin's words, was slightly stunned, and looked at her in surprise. He never imagined that Chu Jiayin would answer this question like this. In this case, when she was ten years old and less than she was, I am afraid that she would not be half as smart.

The old man laughed even louder now: "The little girl is very clever." You're right, but I, old man, am a Taoist priest who has never seen a ghost. Come to think of it, it shouldn't be the person you're looking for. ”

"Then do you know the Taoist priest who talks about ghost hunting? Or a Taoist priest who talks about evil magic and Gu and the like. Chu Jiayin wanted to find out that Taoist priest, wanted to return Chu Jingyan's innocence, and wanted him to tell everyone on the street that he was talking nonsense.

Chu Jiayin believes that there are ghosts in this world, because she is a reborn person and should be a ghost. But she did not believe in any sorcery. Besides, the fact that she was close to Chu Jingyan was obviously because she had the ability to foresee, and she wanted to get some blessings from the great strategists in advance, and it had nothing to do with any evil arts.

"Well, I don't know. Taoist priests don't necessarily know Taoist priests. Many Taoist priests met their peers on the street, but they did not recognize each other, and they did not have any special markings on them. ”

"That bothered." Chu Jiayin took out his purse and found an ingot of ten taels of silver for the old man.

It's not that she's stingy and only gives so much, she's rich, but the money will run out, so she has to save money.

The old man took the silver and put it in his palm, tossed the weight, squinted at Chu Jingyan, thoughtful.

"Second brother, let's go, let's go find it elsewhere." Chu Jiayin said.

The stinky Taoist priest who spread rumors hiccuped Chu Jiayin, no, it was the fake Chu Jiayin who was still talking nonsense the day before the funeral. It's only been two days, and even if you want to, you can't go far.

Chu Jiayin believes that they can find people.

Chu Jingyan nodded.

Chu Jiayin didn't know what evil he had done, he was chased by the rooster first, and now he was targeted by the goose.

Speaking of the goose, Chu Jiayin couldn't help but remember that when she was in Murong Mansion before, she also fell into the water because of the goose. And then that's when so many things happened.

Bad luck!

"Goose goose goose hungry!" The goose yelled at her.

Chu Jiayin was very dissatisfied, new hatred and old hatred, although the old hatred had entered her stomach, maybe it was already, but she still counted the account. She lifted her foot and kicked at the goose.

The goose flew up and became furious.

Chu Jiayin realized that something was wrong, and began to run again crying. She learned to be smart this time, so she ran around Chu Jingyan, trying to make her second brother heroically save the beauty again.

"Second brother, catch the goose, it's going to bite me!" Chu Jiayin cried and mourned.

Chu Jingyan was dizzy by the goose and Chu Jiayin, and he couldn't locate the goose for a while, and he stretched out his hand several times but didn't catch the goose.

Chu Jiayin was bitten a few times by the goose in the end, and there were injuries on her legs and hands.

The old man on the side saw it and smiled.

"You dead old man, others have to lose money if they raise dogs and bite people, you raise chickens and geese, and you don't have to be responsible for biting?!" Chu Jiayin shouted angrily at the old man who was sitting on a chair and smoking.

The goose behind her suddenly rushed over and bit her ass again.

"Oops!"

The goose is more powerful than the rooster, Chu Jingyan really has no choice but to ask for help: "Old man, you still want to help, right?" ”

"Woooooooooo......oo I'm going to tell my grandmother that someone is bullying me! Chu Jiayin cried miserably, and the big goose still chased after her.

The old man had laughed enough, and finally came over to help. He waved at the goose, and the goose obediently left.

Chu Jiayin snorted and looked at the old man with resentment.

The old man extinguished the small chimney and inserted it back into his waist, his wrinkled face showed an innocent expression: "Don't blame me, it was you who kicked my goose, and it chased you to gnaw." ”

Chu Jiayin snorted at the old man.

"Then you can't just watch the show, can you? Yes! It hurts me so much when I bite. Chu Jiayin exposed his arm and turned blue.

Turning his head to look at Chu Jingyan, he was whipped by the old man, and his wrist began to turn red and blue.

Chu Jiayin hurriedly grabbed the second brother's wrist and showed it to the old man who had not yet gloated, and said, "Look at it, you can't rely on this, right?" You smoked this yourself. ”

"You want to slander me, right?" The old man pouted.

"I'm reasoning with you, if I wasn't reasonable, I would have ...... a long time ago" This little thing is not bothering the official office, but if Chu Jiayin goes back and tells his grandmother, the people of the Chu family will definitely step on this broken courtyard!

"I beat him because he caught my chickens, I have raised chickens for a few years, and these years have been sad, so I can barely survive by laying eggs." When the old man said this, the chicken happened to come towards him, and as soon as he bent down, he took the chicken into his arms, and stroked the chicken's head with great indulgence.

Chu Jiayin had a big question mark on his face, and asked in surprise: "Isn't this a rooster?" Can a rooster lay eggs? ”

The old man's expression was so involved that Chu Jiayin had to wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes and regarded the hen he laid eggs as a rooster. But after looking at it several times, it's really a rooster.

The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and said as if he was paralyzed: "Haven't you ever seen a rooster lay eggs?" My can lay eggs, and I don't accept it! ”

The two were speechless for a moment.

The old man glanced at the sky and smiled: "It's not early, for the sake of you being bullied by my goose, I'll keep you staying overnight and have another meal." There's no other place to stay around here. ”

"I don't want to stay in this place like you." Chu Jiayin just took a look, and there were still a lot of coffin boards in the back of the room.

As for the small room, it seems to be full of things that should be in the underworld, where is there a place to sleep and eat? If you want to sleep, you can only sleep between the coin and the wreath, if you don't open your eyes in the middle of the night, and you don't think about where you are, won't you be scared to death?

Chu Jingyan heard Chu Jiayin muttering something, and persuaded: "It's also a good thing that the old gentleman stays with us, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight." ”

Compared with the wilderness, Chu Jiayin felt that it was safe in the underworld after all? Thinking about it, she wanted to go home overnight.

"Let's go, if you want to eat the old man's food, eat it quickly, otherwise the old man won't entertain him." The old man walked out of the fence with his hands behind his back, as if he was going somewhere else.

Chu Jiayin asked, "What are you doing out there?" ”

"Go home."

"Isn't your house here?"

"Little girl, do you think it's so liveable? It's not impossible. The old man glanced at the back of the room and smiled, "If you want to sleep in a coffin, you can also do it, but this coffin is booked by someone else's family. ”

"Who...... Who wants to sleep in a coffin! Hurry up, aren't you going home? Realizing that there was no need to sleep in the wilderness or sleep next to a bunch of things from the underworld, Chu Jiayin was in a much better mood.

She stepped forward quickly, hugged the old man, and urged him in her mouth.

It's getting darker, what if a ghost does come out? What if you run into black and white impermanence? She's a person who has lived again, and no one else can see the ghost, if she can.

Although he is also half a ghost, Chu Jiayin is still afraid of ghosts.

"Scared?" The old man asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid! It is...... Hungry, hungry, you know? Hurry up, I'm going to eat. I'll give you the money for the meal. Chu Jiayin has a hard mouth, and he doesn't admit that he is panicking now, and he is about to tremble.

The old man's dwelling was more than three miles away, and there was a steep slope in between, which took a lot of time and effort.

"Why do you live down there, you might as well live in the shop." Chu Jiayin hung on one foot, and he really couldn't get down.

From the beginning of the downhill, she went down on her own, and this time she turned to a higher hurdle than her, and she really couldn't go down. She watched Chu Jingyan and the old man jump down easily, her eyes red with jealousy.
