Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Midnight Shop (18)

Brother Xu once said that ghosts can also appear during the day, but the sense of existence is delicate, every 1 am to 3 am, that is, the ugly time is the time when the yin qi is the heaviest and the ghosts are the most fierce.

It just so happens that the store is open for the whole night.

I would have a preconceived demon when I hung the lantern, and this time I was not the exception, and there was always an idea for me to look back and see what was calling behind me.

It is impossible to turn back, it is impossible to turn back in a lifetime, and if you are so timid, you can't catch ghosts.

Keeping my heart and dragging my stiff body, I went back to the store, sat on the front desk chair, and I used to light a cigarette, read a novel, and wait for the arrival of customers.

The liquor beer and mineral water were refrigerated in the freezer and ready at all times, but none of the people who came yesterday were drinking, and the thief wanted to see what it was like for the ghost to drink too much.

In the novel, I read the chapter where the male protagonist went to take the shaman treasure to save his girlfriend, and there happened to be a "great immortal" next to him, so I opened my mouth and asked Brother Erman: "Is there really any shaman treasure?"

"The Qing Dynasty is dead! O my old brother! There is a treasure, Pu Yi didn't take the money and ran away early! The most glorious years of the shaman were just the state religion of the Qing Dynasty, and the most awesome thing was that Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to give Hu San the title of national teacher. ”

"Later, I defeated all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the shaman sect was not destroyed! What do you still think, I still need to go down the mountain if I have the resources to cultivate! Isn't the female fox on Tiesha Mountain fragrant? ”

"Now I don't want to catch my brother and horse in the past, I don't want to abide by the rules before, pick the young and catch the young, the world has been famous and cultivated for a long time, everything has to change with the times, and I have always maintained a set, that is, to eat mountains and wait for death."

"If you want to say that there is a treasure, it's okay, the treasure is the famous scattered immortals in the book of ten thousand immortals, such as Black Mother, Hu Santai, Hu Santai, Huang Tianba, Hu Tianlei, Hu Tianqing, these immortals, teach juniors to practice a set."

"And the fox immortals recognized by the orthodox mountain gate are only the nine-tailed demon fox of Qingqiu Mountain and the black mother of Tiesha Mountain."

"It's hard for wild immortals to disperse immortals! How many years before he was alive, how many years after death, and how many years he cultivated, only he knows. ”

Brother Erman mentioned that his family was very emotional, and he almost roared the whole time.

"There are many generations, heavenly generations, gold and silver generations, too many."

I heard Erman also talk about seniority: "What kind of generation are you?"

“wd

MD, I'm a junior!" Brother Erman grinded his teeth and said.

"Don't make a fuss, what kind of person are you?"

Poke the second brother in pain, of course I have to poke it hard.

"I don't have any children, and the fruit number of Erman is sealed by my black mother, one tells me not to be complacent, and the other is to tell me that the path of cultivation is never endless, and there is no perfection, and I must maintain the original intention of seeking the Tao hard."

"Oh~ I see, you guys have a lot of heads!"

I nodded and thought so, but I didn't expect the shaman to also talk about seniority, thinking that it was just a blind JB cultivation.

"You'll find out later! Don't talk about it, come to the guests!"

Brother Erman took the opportunity to slap me with his tail in the mouth, and pretended to be dead on the table after fanning.

I ignored him and looked up to see who the guest was.

Walking through the door in front of him was a man with a thin body that was only skinny and bones, not so much as walking, he was dragging his left leg and his right leg half-planted and moving slowly forward.

He can be 1.7 meters tall, and he wears a tattered cotton hat on his head, and the cotton hat and cotton wool are exposed, revealing a large area of skin in the summer blue military uniform of the last century, and the words on the armband can barely see anything...... Coalition.

A pair of cloth shoes are rotten before and after, the surface of the feet is black and red and frostbitten, and the two ears are already black and purple, as if they can be touched off at once.

The gray stains of the soul painting on his face covered his facial features, and except for a pair of bright and big eyes, he couldn't see what he looked like at all.

The cheeks bulged outward, and it was really scary to look at it.

Gritted his teeth and insisted on walking up to me, grinning heartily at me, a row of fairly clean teeth was so obvious, and said to me honestly: "Comrade, do you have any cigarettes here?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

I've never seen a ghost dressed up like this, so naturally I'm a little surprised to keep looking at him, working under his hands without stopping, and a cigarette is lit and placed on the table.

The eldest brother first took a sharp puff of smoke and passed the addiction, and then pointed to the filter of the cigarette with his black fingers without a fingernail cover and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a smoke filter." I explained.

"Oh, oh, it's not as good as cigarettes and pots and bags of cigarettes before."

The eldest brother smoked one cigarette after another, and I saw that he couldn't enjoy a cigarette at all, so I refilled it for him.

"Big brother, when did you die?"

I saw that his soul was like this, and what a sin he had to suffer before he died! Hurry up and persuade reincarnation to lift the fetus.

The eldest brother thought for three seconds and said, "39 years."

"Huh? Why did you die? ”

His time coincides well with my imagination, because the military uniform looks very similar to the Anti-Japanese War TV series.

"War, the invaders shot me in the leg, I was dragged back to the camp on the mountain by our squad leader, the squad leader told me that he went out to reconnoiter the enemy situation and never came back, and then the enemy encircled and suppressed non-stop, I didn't want to be a traitor to the dog's day, starved to death."

"Uh...... Then why don't you reincarnate after you die? ”

"I don't want to, I didn't see my country's mountains and rivers unharmed, my country and the people are safe, I didn't see the invaders of the dog day being beaten out of the black soil that should be planted with soybean sorghum, I can't close my eyes! Many of my comrades-in-arms may already be down there, my platoon commander and my squad leader, but I can't. ”

He paused for a minute and then said, "But I can't!" The squad leader asked me to live, to see the peaceful and prosperous world with my own eyes, and to see with my own eyes the moment when hundreds of millions of compatriots cheered loudly for my brothers. ”

"I'm dead, I didn't promise the squad leader, I will continue to stay in Yangshi and not leave!"

"Big brother, calm down."

The ghost can't shed tears and can only howl, otherwise the eldest brother will definitely cry for three days, and finally someone can hear himself and see himself, and he can tell all the grievances that have been held right in his heart for decades.

The people are dead, but the souls are still there.

I lit him another cigarette: "Now that the country is peaceful, you will go to reincarnation in a while, and the leaders of your troops should also know about it under the Yellow Spring."

"I know that the country is peaceful, and the passers-by I met told me that the founding of New China has now been almost 70 years old, and the vigorous development of China has become stronger and stronger, and it will not be invaded by other countries again."

"I want to smoke a cigarette today, I'm afraid that there is no cigarette to smoke below, I have been thinking about this for decades, and there is another thing that is...... I don't know how old you are this year, and I'm not a literate person who can't tell any big truths, and today you can recruit me from dozens of miles away to show that you are very powerful, and I want to entrust you with one thing. ”

"You say I'm listening." I nodded solemnly in agreement.

"I want to give it to you if I want to give it to me from the old squad leader, and I want you to do it for me...... A group of brothers who died for me have been living and looking at the hope and future of the motherland. ”

The eldest brother bowed his head slightly, as if he was making the only request in his life with faith.

"Okay, I promise you, what's your name, big brother?"

I took a few steps back, how dare I admit the etiquette of my eldest brother, it's really a long life!

"The third company and the second platoon of the second regiment of the third route army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, Zhao Duofu."

Brother Duofu tried his best to stand up straight, but he still bent his waist with his left leg out, and forced his cry to give me a military salute.

"Senior! Let's go!"

I also stood up straight and saluted Brother Duofu with the military salute I taught during military training.

He went from crying to laughing to laughing, and little by little his soul dissipated.

When he finally died, he seemed to see his comrades-in-arms wearing brand-new military uniforms, waiting for him at the fork in the road to Huangquan Road for decades.

Born together to death, and born to die together.

My comrades-in-arms, let's continue fate in the next life.

My comrades-in-arms, I saw it, and I hope you will see it too.

After wandering in the world for decades and seeing the ups and downs, he finally let out his attachment to the broken mountains and rivers and let go.
