"Crazy?"

Xia Min was very surprised, she didn't look like a madman just now, but more like a hunter looking at his prey.

"That's right." The owner of the shop nodded: "I've been crazy for many years." ”

"Can you tell me, why is she crazy, I think she is drying clothes like a normal person." Xia Min asked curiously.

"Oh, that's a long story, I won't understand it for a while, I still have a lot of work to do."

The boss looked a little reluctant.

What kind of person is Xia Min, he instantly understood what the boss meant, smiled, and persuaded: "Hey, I don't know how long to wait for the iron pillar and that child, I have nothing to do, uncle, you are now past the peak period of breakfast, there are no guests, just tell me." ”

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten that fritter and I'm not too full, so you can steam two more baskets of dumplings, and I'll go to the store over there to buy some peanut beer or something, let's eat and say, count me on my head, is it?"

Sure enough, the boss suddenly looked happy again: "That's so embarrassing, okay, I'll steam it right away, forget about the beer, two bottles of Jiang Xiaobai." ”

Xia Min was also happy, this uncle is very interesting, drinking liquor in the morning, it turns out that the macho man never uses vinegar to make dumplings.

After buying two bottles of liquor and bags of peanuts from a nearby commissary, Xia Min returned to the breakfast shop.

"Ouch, uncle, your commissary here is too small, there are a lot of things out of stock, Jiang Xiaobai is gone, there is a small bomb wine." Xia Min shook the plastic bag in his hand.

"It must be that this woman forgot to buy again." The boss smiled and shook his head: "But this wine is not bad, make do." ”

"You can forget the purchase, this boss's heart is big enough."

"Normally, her shop is often out of stock, but occasionally there will be a lot of more goods, anyway, either too much or too little." The boss brought over two baskets of freshly steamed dumplings and sat down at the table where Xia Min was.

"Don't talk about her." The boss skillfully opened the wine bottle and poured the wine into the plastic cup he had just taken, and Xia Min disassembled the peanuts and poured them into the plate prepared by the boss of the breakfast shop.

"Don't you want to know about that crazy woman, in fact, it's not a secret, the people who live here more or less know some things about her, but well, I open a shop, and I sit here every day, so I can naturally see a lot of things that other people don't know, so if you ask me, I'm asking."

"Oh?" Xia Min threw two peanuts into his mouth, and involuntarily became serious: "Then I really asked the right person." ”

"Hey, hey." The boss approached Xia Min slightly and lowered his voice: "Tell you quietly, in fact, she was driven crazy by ghosts." ”

"Ghosts?" Xia Min's eyes froze, pretending not to believe: "Uncle, don't scare me, how can there be ghosts in this world?" ”

"Don't believe it." The boss smiled mysteriously, and Xia Min's reaction was as expected:

"After the death of her man, she was found talking to the air many times, and then inexplicably her temperament changed greatly, she used to be very kind and talkative, but now she has a straight face when she sees everyone, and she doesn't greet her, she locks herself in the house every day, and once persuaded others to leave here, looking scared or something."

"It's... You can't say you're crazy, right? It's normal for her husband to die and her temperament change drastically. Xia Min smiled dryly, as if he was a little frightened.

"If you still don't believe me, then I'll tell you something quietly." The boss took a sip of wine and said in a low voice: "Someone heard it, she was crying and making trouble in the house, and saying something like begging you, we have been in this building for decades, and the sound insulation is not good, and many residents living around her house have heard it." ”

"The neighbor was worried about knocking on the door, but when she came out, although her eyes were red, she was very calm, and she asked them very coldly what they were doing, and someone couldn't help but say that they went into the house to check, but the person who entered the house saw nothing, and finally she scolded and drove them out."

"As a result, this person suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night, myocardial infarction, and was almost not rescued, this person had never had a similar disease before, and no one went to her house since then, and she didn't dare to say a word to her, and she still maintained that sense of alienation and didn't deal with people."

Xia Min bared his teeth: "It's so evil..."

"That's not it, once before, she went back to her hometown to visit relatives, we quietly invited a Taoist priest behind her back to exorcise ghosts, but I didn't expect this Taoist priest to chant scriptures and dance gods and paper burners, it looks like a good person, but the next day I found it myself, and returned all the money made up by the neighbors, saying that he can't afford to mess with things here, let us ask Gao Ming."

"At that time, everyone was scared, but later I found out that as long as I didn't contact her, I wouldn't have encountered those things, and slowly, everyone thought that this thing had not happened, and they tacitly agreed."

"Your heart is so big, huh?" Xia Min was a little speechless, normal people will move to seek peace when they encounter this kind of thing, even if it is unwarranted or psychological, the people here are good, they tacitly believe that it has never happened, it is really like an ostrich with its head buried in the soil.

"You didn't even think about moving out?" Xia Min asked puzzled.

"Move." The boss shook his head and poured wine with a wry smile: "Who doesn't want to move if they can move?" But look at it..."

He pointed to the dilapidated building: "This is one of the cheapest houses in the city, the stove is communal, you have to queue up for water, and you can only go to the public toilet on the first floor to go to the toilet." ”

"Many of us are from other places, and we have no support here, and many of us don't even have a hukou, so it's good to be able to live in this kind of house, other places..."

The boss took a sip of half a glass of white wine, and his face was bitter: "I can't afford to live." ”

"Ugh." Xia Min didn't know what to say, so he had to sigh, in comparison, the suburban house he lived in was already a very good place.

"Another reason is that the hosts here are very nice." The boss smiled, his expression warm.

"There's a landlord here?" Xia Min was surprised, he had always thought that all the residents here were residents, but he didn't expect them to be tenants.

"That's right, because of that matter, the already low rent has been reduced a lot by the landlord, and she is usually very good to people, no matter who sees her, she has to give a thumbs up, and the strangest thing is that you know?"

The boss looked very admiring: "Only the landlord has contact with the crazy woman, and there will be no moths, and the old man says that good people have righteousness to protect their bodies, and evil spirits cannot enter their bodies." ”

Xia Min smiled, and sneered in his heart, after all, even a good young man like him who was upright and heroic in society had been infiltrated by the evil for I don't know how many times.

"Are you landlords the kind of old people who are very old and have a lot of experience?"

Xia Min asked casually, in his opinion, this kind of old man is the one who can't even touch the evil spirit, and if he touches it, he will destroy the yin virtue.

"No."

The boss's expression was a little strange: "Actually, this landlord is the iron pillar and his mother you have to wait for." ”
