Chapter 70, The Strange Paper Binding Shop

Two streets away from the long-distance station in Baoqing County, Zhang Wei suddenly stood still.

This is an old street that has been around for some years, except for a noisy small vegetable market, there are all kinds of old-fashioned shops, and one of them is a paper tie shop, which attracted Zhang Wei's attention.

It was true that he was about to take the car back to the city, but if possible, he wanted to buy some materials for the talismans here.

Because firearms cannot play a role in spirits, Zhang Wei has long been mentally prepared for tonight's action.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Wei feels that it is necessary to prepare well.

There used to be as many as ten inventory talismans, but after the Great War in Times Park, there are now only five left.

Among them, the Beidou Demon Exterminator has the greatest lethality to the spirit, because it needs to deal with the war corpses raised by those who carry corpses, and there is not a single one left that is used.

After some planning, he felt that at least five more demon slaying talismans needed to be produced, so that the inventory of talismans could reach ten, so that the night action would have enough confidence.

Originally, he was idle two days ago, and Zhang Wei planned to start drawing the talisman again.

He took advantage of the opportunity to go to the market to buy vegetables, so he was ready to buy back the yellow paper and cinnabar, and once again replenished the stock of talismans.

In desperation, I asked several Chinese medicine stores in a row, and they all said that in the Baoqing area, the city government has recently banned the sale of cinnabar by the people; if you really want to buy it, you have to go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy of a regular hospital, and you need a doctor's prescription.

Zhang Wei, whose needs were not so urgent at that time, disliked that the procedures were too troublesome, and did not deliberately go to the hospital to get some.

It's just that on the way back to the station, he suddenly saw this small shop called 'Xiaojing Paper Shop', and immediately had an idea:

Maybe in the old store in such a small county, there will be things like cinnabar and yellow paper for sale......

With only a few days to go before the Chinese New Year, the villagers from the countryside who have come to the city to buy New Year's goods make this old street look very lively, and for the shops on this old street, now is also the best time of the year for their business.

Of course, this filial piety paper shop is completely excepted.

When Zhang Wei walked into this paper-binding shop, he found that there was not even a single customer who came to patronize it, but thinking about the particularity of this kind of shop, Zhang Wei also knew it.

It was already after two o'clock, and the owner of the paper shop had just started to eat lunch.

The boss is a man in his forties, the whole person looks tall and thin, and he also wears a thick myopic glasses.

Coupled with the old clothes on his body, he looks quite wooden.

At this time, he was setting up a simple small dining table behind the counter, eating lunch slowly and methodically.

"Boss, I want to buy some cinnabar and yellow paper, I don't know if you have it here. Zhang Wei asked.

After hearing this, the owner of the wooden shop looked up at Zhang Wei in some surprise, and Zhang Wei found that the other party's highly myopic eyes were rarely smart.

did not directly answer whether there was any goods or not, but the store owner asked curiously:

"I see you're still a student at a young age, why are you buying these things back?"

"Watching the movie draw talismans seems to be quite powerful, and I also want to draw a few talismans on the Internet to play. Originally, Zhang Wei habitually wanted to tell the truth, but when it came to his mouth, it became such a lie.

Because just as he answered, he was surprised to find something unusual.

Opposite the small dining table of the owner of the paper-binding shop, there was a bowl full of rice that had not been touched at all, and there was even a small plastic bench.

In an instant, a bold guess arose in Zhang Wei's heart.

Although the probability of this speculation is extremely low, it does not prevent Zhang Wei from replacing the truth on his lips with a clumsy lie.

After hearing Zhang Wei's unreliable explanation, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

He said, "I don't know what you young students think, you dare to play with anything!" I don't have cinnabar here, but there should be a little bit of yellow paper left, if you need it, I'll find it for you." ”

With obvious disappointment, Zhang Wei came to say: "Yellow paper is fine, give me fifty yuan." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei took out a handful of thick change from his trouser pocket, counted out five pieces of ten yuan from it and handed them to the owner of the paper shop.

The shopkeeper took the change and said:

"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll go to the warehouse in the back and find the yellow paper for you. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled down the last bite of rice in the bowl, and then walked towards the back of the store, and when he took the money, Zhang Wei carefully touched the other party's finger.

It turned out that the other party's fingers were as cool and cold as a dead person......

When the figure of the owner of the paper-binding shop had just disappeared into the depths of the store, Zhang Wei, who was still playing with his mobile phone from time to time a second ago, was no different from ordinary high school students, and immediately observed carefully in the store.

First of all, he could find that everything in this paper shop was surprisingly clean.

After days of continuous drizzle, although it was a rare sunny day, the streets were still a little damp and not dried by the sun.

It stands to reason that whenever someone comes in or out of the paper shop, there will always be a little mud on the concrete floor.

However, Zhang Wei took a look, and not only the wreaths, paper figurines and other items in the store could be said to be almost spotless, but the cement floor was not muddy, and there was not even a trace of sand to be seen.

Finally, when he stood on tiptoe and looked into the depths of the paper shop, he could faintly spot what appeared to be a small coffin.

The combination of the above anomalies made Zhang Wei a little more sure of the speculation in his heart, but these were not enough.

This bold speculation is a bit scary, and more reasons are needed to support it.

When Zhang Wei pretended to look at his phone again, the shopkeeper who was rummaging through the yellow paper finally came out.

He put the thick roll of yellow paper in his hand in a plastic bag, and after Zhang Wei took the plastic bag, he didn't show any abnormality and left here directly.

Just walked to the end of the old street, Zhang Wei saw a noodle restaurant that was some years old.

Zhang Wei, who ordered a bowl of cold rice noodles for lunch, chatted with him a little bit with the boss's efforts to scald rice noodles.

It was these simple sentences that made him know that the owner of the paper shop was simply an old widower whose wife had been dead for many years.

In other words, he is the only one in their whole family.

At this time, Zhang Wei can at least be 50% sure that the guess in his heart is right: the owner of the paper shop is far from being as simple as he appears.

That thing was simply a scumbag, a vicious wolf in wolf's clothing.

Because if his guess is correct, the owner of the paper shop is doing something extremely vicious and damaging to yin morality: raising imps.

In a few bites, a bowl of cold rice was cleaned, although this amount was not even appetizing for Zhang Wei, but he still walked towards the station.

He's already decided to get the murderous mansion in the evening.

If you have time left, come to this paper shop to find out.

PS:Speaking of updates,Because it's not on the shelves.,There are only two more per day.;When it's on the shelves, it's going to break out a little.,It's estimated that the top day will be ten more.。

However, after it is put on the shelves, it will be guaranteed three changes, and it will be added from time to time.

Finally, thank you for the reward of the 'as long as 99998' boss, and I will give you more in the evening
