......

Be a villain.

First of all, don't talk too much.

Words die early.

Secondly, you can't reduce intelligence.

You must not let yourself become a stupid tool man because of the existence of the protagonist's aura.

That's a vulgar routine.

Too many people like to slap their faces and pretend to be forced, sorry, but it's you who should be slapped in the face today.

Statement Xin thought in his heart.

"Bullshit, you aliens are all raccoons."

"Since these aliens are in stage fright, then we won't rely on you."

"I'm stating that you're not the only one."

In the dark night, there are all kinds of hidden corners in the bottomless alleys of Chengnan City.

For example, the legendary ghost market in the west of the city.

For some reason, although there are many shops in the western part of the city, the entire street and the entire street are starting to close at this point.

Shu Xin asked several shops that had already closed half of their doors in a row: "Boss, can you wait?" I need to buy something! ”

They all replied the same as before: "Tomorrow!" It's too late today! ”

"Late? Is it late? ”

Statement Xin looked at the sun that hadn't gone down yet: It's late! Are you all pumping your brains? Don't do business if you have it!

If it were normal, he would have bought these stores directly.

But I always feel that it is not a good thing to buy such a store.

Looking at the persistence of Shu Xin, he asked more than a dozen companies in a row, but they all refused to do his business.

Finally, a kind aunt, after closing the door of her shop, secretly walked to Shuxin's side and whispered a few words to him:

"Young man! If you're in a hurry to buy these things, go down the street, where there's a shop with white lanterns and ask, and this is the only one of these streets that doesn't close at night! ”

After the kind aunt finished speaking, a cold wind blew, which frightened her and ran away. The statement is still stunned and stands in place: inside the street? White lanterns? How do you feel a little crazy!

The weather was suddenly cold, the wind seemed to fall suddenly, and the temperature that had dropped suddenly had climbed onto the shoulders of Shuxin like a bloodthirsty snake.

It's so cold that it makes you shiver......

He looked up and looked at the sky, but it was already dark.

"Isn't it only five o'clock? Why is it getting dark......"

He took out his mobile phone and froze there in an instant, motionless: "Six thirty o'clock???? ”

Wasn't it still five o'clock just now? Why did it suddenly become 6:30????

White lanterns? White lanterns? White lanterns?

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the place that the aunt said was very terrible! Seeing that it is dark at this time, will a normal person's store hang a white lantern in front of their store at this time?

Why is there a rhythm of being pitted again?

Even if Shu Xin had already found the dark street in front of him, there was really a white lantern swaying in the wind!

"Oh my god! Is there really a one? The corners of his eyes twitched violently.

Despite my fear, I eventually came to the front of the shop with the white lantern hanging on it!

On both sides of the door, there were four or five golden boys and girls with paper ties, holding ingots or ruyi, standing there with a stiff smile. It's really full of horror here......

When he was still hesitating to go in, he blew for a while, and it was called a cold! All the shops on the street have closed, and there is a dead silence, as if it is a dead city. In his heart, he always felt that standing outside was more terrifying than entering the store!

He lowered his head and rushed into the paper shop in small steps.

Call......

I don't know if the air conditioner is turned on inside, and the indoor temperature is not much higher than the outside, but it's quite warm, which makes the statement a little more steady.

He looked around, and the shop was ordinary, no different from a normal paper shop. Now that I'm in, there's no more horror I felt when I stood in the doorway and looked at the white lantern......

At a glass counter, Shu Xin saw a figure lying on the counter, sleeping soundly, snoring and breathing!

"Hey! Is the boss there? Shu Xin gently knocked twice on the counter.

"Uh-huh????"

The voice woke the man up, half-hunched, rubbed his bewildered eyes, looked at the sky outside, and said strangely: "It's dark!" It's time to wake up! ”

Dark? Get up? Is there any connection between the two?

Shu Xin looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, his appearance was ordinary, although his eyes were sleepy at the moment, but he still saw the cunning afterglow hidden in his eyes, which made Shu Xin suspect that this kid had the potential of a profiteer. Soon, his suspicions were confirmed.

The two had a few conversations, stating that they had learned that the young man was the owner of the shop, surnamed Cai.

Shuxin told him that he wanted to order a few of these clothes and burn them to his deceased friends!

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take out the photos of Xiaojun's clothes taken during the day for him to see. But he beckoned: "Don't worry! I'll find the ledger first, my brain is not bright, I have to write it down with it, lest I make a mistake for you! ”

Seeing that this guy is holding the attitude of quality and quantity and honest customers, he didn't pay much attention to the new statement, and he still didn't find the account book he said for several minutes, and kept muttering: "This group of dead ghosts, idle and nothing, do my things again." When I catch them, I'm going to beat them up!" ”

While waiting, the non-eventful statement looked at the various items on the counter at the glass counter, and one of them made him have to stare wide-eyed and look up: "This is a grapefruit leaf?" ”

Shu Xin asked, pointing to two strange leaves in a square wooden box on the glass counter. If he hadn't seen the grapefruit leaf with his own eyes yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to recognize that the strange leaf in front of him would be a grapefruit leaf, and it was glued to the wood. The two pieces of wood stained with yuzu leaves are also carved in a shape that almost resembles yuzu leaves!

"yes!" Boss Cai glanced at it, stated what the new was referring to and replied, and then continued to rummage through the ledger under the cabinet.

"Then why did you stick the grapefruit leaves on this wood?" Shu Xin really didn't understand why Yuzu Leaf did this, so he asked curiously.

Boss Cai was very disdainful of the ignorance of the statement: "This is not ordinary wood, it is a famous wood." ”

"Did it work?" Statement Xin then asked.

"If you buy it, I'll tell you." Finally, the true nature of the profiteer that Boss Cai was suspected of at the beginning finally leaked out.

"How much?" Statement New asked.

"Three hundred and three, pay in cash!"

Like a lion's big mouth, the statement stared at him with a new stagger: "I'll rub!" You're a fool! ”

"If you don't buy it, forget it." Then Boss Cai didn't change as much as the new expression of the statement, and said it very casually.

looked at Boss Cai's slightly provocative gaze, as if he thought he had no money. That kind of contempt is tolerable or unbearable! Gritting his teeth and stating with great difficulty, he took out his wallet, took out three hundred and thirty yuan from it, and threw it on the table:

“…… I buy! ”

It's not that he has no money, but he just doesn't want to be cheated, especially when he knows that he is a cheat.

Seeing that Boss Cai was very greedy and grabbed three hundred yuan, he first counted it carefully, then took it out and put it under the light, and carefully checked whether it was true or not? provoked the statement to keep scolding in his heart: profiteers! Profiteer! Profiteers at heart! Three hundred bucks, fucking count!

After seeing that Boss Cai checked that it was correct, Shu Xin asked angrily, "Can you say it now?" ”

"This one! …… It's used to see ghosts. Boss Cai said in a faint tone while taking out the box with grapefruit leaves.

"I'll go! That's all you still use to trick people, you don't know about me! Just find a grapefruit leaf and rub it directly on your eyes, won't you get it? And spend so much money to buy you these two broken leaves! You're a ghost! "Stating the new one, it's a rhythm that wants to rush up and beat him! The mouth kept shouting: "Profiteers! Hurry up and return my money! Lao Tzu is not for sale! ”

"Wait!" Boss Cai once again disdained to kill Shu Xin's eyes, and then with a movement of his right hand, a back-facing sign on the counter was suddenly turned up.

I saw four big words written on it: No returns!

No way! It's the rhythm of a black shop!

The new belly was full of anger, pointed at the young boss, and yelled, "You... You.. You wait for me! I'm going to complain about you! ”

"Boy, I advise you! I really can't find a place to complain! Boss Cai sneered: "By the way, I want to ask you: Who the hell told you that you can see ghosts as long as you wipe them directly with grapefruit leaves!" ”

"I'll ...... it personally" The statement was not finished, and I instantly remembered Xiaojun's matter, and it was better not to let outsiders know. Hurriedly swallowed back......

I only heard that Boss Cai said very mockingly at the statement of Xin's behavior: "I'll tell you, don't say use grapefruit leaves." Even if you wipe your eyes with a whole grapefruit tree, it's useless! ”

He took out the grapefruit leaf in the box that was glued to the wood, and asked Shu Xin to look at the reverse side of it, and Shu Xin saw that there were many strange stripes carved on it, and when he looked closely, the front stripes were actually one stroke. Boss Cai pointed at it and said, "Even after wiping your eyes with this, it can only have an effect within six hours." And after using it, it can't be used continuously for three days! It's going to hurt your body! The main thing is that the shelf life is fucking only one month. ”

"Huh?" The statement of the new person was a little overwhelmed: "There is still an expiration date on this thing?" ”

"Nonsense! You won't dry this leaf when it comes off the tree! ”

Shu Xin nodded reluctantly: Indeed, after the leaves are plucked from the tree, they will soon wither! It should also have an expiration date!

Boss Cai's energy was also stirred up by the statement, jumped up from the chair, and continued to talk at length to the statement of the new education: "Do you think it is so easy to see a ghost? If it were like you, wouldn't everyone wipe their eyes with grapefruit leaves, and they would see ghosts every day? It's just that these two leaves took a lot of effort to get it right! Ignorant! Idiot! ”

was scolded by Boss Cai and was speechless for a while, so he had to nod secretly and say, "That's right!" ”

Hum! Seeing Boss Cai panting back in his chair, he went in again to find the rhythm of the account book.

Shuxin suddenly remembered: Why can Ankang see ghosts after rubbing his eyes with grapefruit leaves?

Shu Xin hesitated and asked, "Is there a special situation where you can see a ghost by rubbing your eyes with grapefruit leaves?" ”

Boss Cai sighed helplessly, and scolded in his heart: Where did such an idiot come from!

But the way to deal with idiots, especially the ones who are incredibly curious, is to tell them what they want to know!

"Lest you speak of me as a profiteer! I'll just say a few words today! Don't bother me looking for the ledger anymore! Boss Cai raised three fingers and introduced: "People can see ghosts, which can be roughly divided into three types: first, with the help of external forces, such as wiping your eyes with these two grapefruit leaves; the second, with the help of its own ability, that is, the legendary yin and yang eyes and the like; The third is that if the ghost wants you to see it, you can see it......"

If the ghost lets you see, you can see it naturally......

Boss Cai's words, although the statement is new, has a half-believing attitude. But if it is true as he says, then the first two of the three situations of seeing ghosts are impossible for the statement to exist! Then only the third type remains, and if it is really the third one, what does that mean?

It means that Jun wants them to see themselves...... But why is that ......?

Boss Cai finally found the account book he had been looking for for a long time in the corner of the underground counter, which was an ordinary old-fashioned account book, slightly yellowed, it seemed to be some years!

Boss Cai lifted the account book to a blank page and asked:

"How do people die?"

"Burn this thing, and this exquisiteness?" Stating a new intellectual curiosity is starting to get along!

"Burning something else, of course, isn't as particular as this, but burning clothes is different!" Boss Cai didn't bother to make eye contact with him, and while holding a pen, he quickly explained: "For example: the hanged one has a long neck, so you have to make the collar a little higher to cover it." ”

"Why?"

"What is what a person looks like when he dies, then what he looks like after death!" Boss Cai said: "If you think about how many hanged people are, they will be willing to let others see their strange long necks at a glance!" ”

When I heard this, I always felt a little familiar in my ears, as if I had heard it somewhere! That's right! Lao Hu also said something similar, although one is talking about the clothes of the dead, and the other is about the corpse, but there is a connection of the same meaning at the root!

"That's right!" Statement Xin nodded secretly and said yes.

"Then the rest, those who lack arms and legs, and those who lose their heads, let alone those who have lost their heads......" Boss Cai finished speaking, looking at the statement of the new.

Shu Xin seemed to have thought of something after listening to Boss Cai's words, and he looked a little anxious, but he was trying to suppress this emotion:

"What if that is...... What about those who were mutilated? ”

"......" Boss Cai's face changed suddenly, and his face turned a little dark and looked at Shu Xin: "You kid, what is the matter?" ”

"Tell me: What should you pay attention to if you die like that?" Shu Xin asked without hesitation, he knew that he couldn't leak Xiaojun's affairs to anyone, especially these guys who were already doing strange business.

"You wait first. By the way, write the deceased's birthday on it! Boss Cai threw the pen to Shu Xin, and then immediately walked to the store, and then disappeared.

Shu Xin recalled the birthday on Xiaojun's information, and he didn't know if the Zhao Group would fake Xiaojun's birthday, but at this moment, it would be better to use this instead. I took out my mobile phone, found out the corresponding lunar date on it, and wrote it in the ledger: ...... ..... year... Ugly Day.....

If you pay a little attention to the new statement, you will find that the second day of Xiaojun's birthday is the day of the heaviest yin in the year - the day of the Midyear Festival.

When the statement was written, Boss Cai came back again, and his tone towards the statement suddenly changed, and even the title changed:

"Sir, come with me inside."

Regarding Boss Cai's sudden change in tone, he said that he hadn't been able to ease up in time for a while, and his pace had already followed Boss Cai's back to the inside.

"Most of the things in our shop are made by my master, and his craftsmanship is well-known in Shili Eight Street!" Boss Cai explained to Shuxin: "Before he gives you what you want, how many words does he want to ask you?" ”

Ask me what?

Shu Xin was a little uneasy in his heart, and he watched as he first walked through a short and narrow corridor under the leadership of Boss Cai, which had a little moldy and pungent smell, and the width of the corridor was only enough for two people to walk side by side.

The corridor is narrow, but the temperature in the corridor is strangely low, as if on the other side of the two walls are two large ice reservoirs with extremely low temperatures.

Shu Xin stretched out a finger and touched the wall, his skin touched the wall, and he retracted with a tight, "whoosh" sound in an instant, and the whole person shook violently.

"I'm rubbing! The walls are as cold as ice from the North Pole! ”

But when I looked closely at the wall under this faint light, I found that it was an ordinary blue brick wall, and there was nothing too different.

Shu Xin continued to follow Boss Cai, who was in front of him with a contemptuous attitude as always, and Shu Xin walked through the cold corridor to a room full of debris, and the local temperature rose a lot in an instant, but it still remained in the range of minus a few degrees. He couldn't help but shrink his neck into his clothes, and only his two eyes were exposed, and he saw that there were already several people standing in the room.

Could it be that these people are all the masters of the paper-binding people in the store?

But it doesn't look like it!

Two of the three people in front of him were wearing uniform uniforms. I can clearly see that there are obvious strange signs on their shoulders, and that kind of sign makes Shu Xin immediately think of the armbands worn by Captain Zhang and Liu Yang on the shoulders of the North District Bureau, which have obvious rank marks! But which department does this sign belong to? Shu Xin didn't know, but he was curious why this armband had such a retro feeling, and the expressions of the two people in front of Shu Xin Xin were like painted on their faces, no surprise or joy, as if they would never smile bitterly.
