Dedong City, Xicheng District.

Near noon, the scorching sun scorched the earth mercilessly, and heat waves swept in wave after wave.

On the streets, pedestrians are sparse.

Occasionally, a few frolicking teenagers were quickly brought back by their respective parents and elders.

At the end of the street, Xinxin grocery store.

An old-fashioned fan was working hard, creaking from time to time.

Su Mo leaned back on the boss's chair he found in the second-hand market, yawned, and his face was full of sadness.

When he was young and naïve, he rarely heard of it, and he listened to the fool of an old man, and used all his wealth to put down the grocery store.

In the first year, the business was okay, but the results were good, but in the last six months, the business has become worse and worse, and sometimes there is not a single customer who comes to patronize for a day.

And since he moved to the grocery store, the quality of sleep is not as good as day by day, and he is about to become a national treasure with a pair of panda eyes every day.

The reason why the quality of sleep is so poor is that every once in a while, he can always hear some strange sounds at night, which makes him tired of it.

"If the business doesn't improve for another half a month, I will switch to selling sweet potatoes."

Picking up a bottle of mineral water on the table casually, and taking a few sips, Su Mo finally made up his mind.

Grocery stores are not like other antique businesses, they are not open for half a year, and they are open for half a year.

The location is not good, and it makes no sense to insist on it.

"You're a bad old man."

Thinking of the old man who fooled him, Su Mo was angry.

If it weren't for the old man, why would he be so poor now?

"The next time I see you, I have to look good!"

Su Mo picked up the remaining half bottle of mineral water and wanted to throw it out to vent, but soon, he honestly put the mineral water on the table.

"Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Su Mo comforted himself.

In fact, he was reluctant to give up this half bottle of mineral water.

Two dollars a bottle of mineral water, half a bottle is worth more than a dollar.

It's not worth it to lose this piece of money for an old man who will never be seen again in his life.

Click!

That's when it happened.

A crisp sound came from the electric fan.

Su Mo hurriedly got up, carefully checked the fan for a while, and then was in a terrible mood.

The old man deceived him, and the boss who sold him the electric fan also deceived him, and sure enough, the world was full of dangers.

Unplugged the electric fan switch, Su Mo turned around and wanted to take the remaining half bottle of mineral water and drink it to express his insincerity.

"! Hell! ”

As soon as Su Mo turned his head, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

A young man wrapped in black clothes met Su Mo's eyes.

Su Mo patted his chest, trying to calm down his excitement.

Open the door to do business, and those who come are guests.

Besides, many young people like to cosplay now, and it's understandable that this guy in front of me likes to play ghosts.

"His face is pale, his eyes are a little red, he looks like an audiophile."

Glancing at the young man up and down, Su Mo asked, "Welcome to Xinxin Grocery Store, may I ask if there is anything I can do to help you?" ”

The young man ignored Su Mo, he walked past Su Mo, his fingers made contact with Su Mo's body intentionally or unintentionally, and then he walked around the store.

Ice!

Feeling the coldness of the young man's fingers, Su Mo shivered.

Specialized!

Not only does it look like a ghost, but even its fingers are cold.

"Generally, people are relatively wealthy, and they don't know what they want to buy at the grocery store."

Su Mo secretly calculated how many things he could sell this time, and whether he could earn back the money from the mineral water he had just drunk.

"How much does this incense candle cost?"

Not much.

The young man placed an arm-thick incense candle on the counter, and a hoarse voice rang out.

"Incense candles?"

Su Mo looked at the incense candles on the counter, his face full of doubt.

He usually checks the shop and sorts out the goods, but he has never seen a candle or incense.

Could it be the old man who gave him the shop plate?

Don't be in vain!

Not your own stuff anyway!

Thinking of this, Su Mo stretched out five fingers and did not speak.

Syllable!

The young man conjured up five pieces of paper money like a trick, put them on the counter, and then took the incense candle and wanted to leave.

"Stop!"

Su Mo glanced at the paper money on the counter, and his lungs were about to explode.

Stygian?

Role-playing, right?

Buying things with Stygian coins?

Su Mo had a violent temper, directly picked up the mineral water bottle, and said, "Do you think I'm a bully?" If you want incense candles, exchange them for real money, otherwise you will keep the incense candles! ”

The young man stopped, looked back at Su Mo, his mouth didn't move, but his voice sounded, "I advise you not to make trouble for yourself!" ”

"I'm in trouble?"

Su Mo pointed to his nose and said angrily: "Please go out and inquire, who am I afraid of?" If you don't leave the incense candle today, I'll let you know how good I am! ”

Crash!

Grabbing the five Stygian coins on the counter, he quickly ran out of the store and smashed them at the young man.

Snort!

Before the coin could reach the young man, it burst into flames and burned to the ground.

"Magic?"

Su Mo's mouth opened slightly, and he said in a slightly surprised voice.

Swish!

When Su Mo was surprised, the young man floated directly in front of Su Mo, looked at each other, and threatened: "I'll give you another chance to reorganize the language." ”

"Reorganize? I ......"

Su Mo took a few steps back, and before his words fell, he suddenly saw that there was no shadow around the young man.

Boom!

This discovery made Su Mo swallow a mouthful of saliva.

I don't think I've really encountered a ghost, right?

It is understandable to wear black clothes on a hot day, the pale face, and the blood-red eyes can be explained, and even the fire of the dark coin can be understood as the addition of white phosphorus.

However, there is no shadow of the young man in front of him, which is debatable.

Could it really be a ghost?

Isn't it always said on TV that ghosts are active at night? Why can dragons and tigers be alive in broad daylight?

"Take the incense and candles." Su Mo pretended to be calm and said: "For the sake of your first time, I sold it to you for five hundred yuan, so I should make a friend." ”

"You know each other."

The young man retracted the gaze that fell on Su Mo, and said lightly: "I'm in a good mood today, otherwise your fate is estimated to be miserable." ”

"Human beings are as timid as mice, and they tremble when they are scared!"

The young man didn't say the last sentence, but thought secretly in his heart.

Swish!

Su Mo stood in place, a little dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on?

This strange sound can be heard during the day?

Not a prank?

At first, he thought it was someone else's prank, and he didn't take it seriously.

But now, he heard this strange sound again.

And, a strange voice, like the words of a young man's heart!

Su Mo was puzzled, why, could he hear the young man's heart?
