Chapter 3: The Incense Buyer (II)

……

"I'm going to buy incense."

"Well, I've got incense here. What incense do you want? Indian incense? Or a incense tower? Or essential oil incense? ”

She shook her head and said, "It's not this kind of incense. ”

"There are a lot of dried flowers here, you can pick and choose, and there are also sachets, utensils, and gift boxes for dried flowers over there, you can also take them as you like." Seeing her shake her head violently, I asked again, "Don't you want to dry flowers?" There are only flowers and plants on the counter, which are made of tea and drunk, and they are also very fragrant, but it should not be the fragrance you said, and other small shops will be gone. ”

"Huh?" She was surprised and asked, "Doesn't your shop sell the kind of spices you used to sell as you used to?" ”

"You say agarwood and the like, that kind of woody antique? Yes, there are still in the room, but there are not many goods, and I only buy them for some regular customers. What do you buy this for? If you give it away, it's OK, just collect it, I don't have much collection value for these goods, and now the store is run very poorly by me, and there is no money to collect good goods. "I told her directly, after all, that she was also my brother's friend, and that I couldn't kill her.

"I don't give it away, and I don't collect it, I just use it to order it myself."

"Order? Then I still have some good agarwood silk here, you can come in with me. ”

"I don't want agarwood, do you have rhino horns?"

Xiao Mo's bluntness surprised me, "What, rhino horns?" Rhino horn and ivory are forbidden to be bought and sold now, but I don't. ”

Xiao Mo was anxious and said, "But Zixiong said that your family has it, and he said that there are rhino horns." ”

I was angry, my brother really likes to show off, and he tells people everything, so I said: "You believe what he says, he often says that he has a Maserati when he picks up girls, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it, I've seen pictures of your rhino horns."

I'm really about to squirt out a mouthful of blood, this thing can't be used by him to pick up girls, so he asked angrily: "He won't tell you again, that thing can see ghosts when it's lit!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded.

I pouted and said, "He's fooling you, don't believe him." To tell you the truth, I really have that thing in my family, but I can't sell it to you, because it is our family's ancestral heirloom, and I can't afford to sell it. Moreover, my grandfather ordered that thing, and he didn't see a ghost at all. ”

"That's because your grandfather didn't order enough......" Xiao Mo blurted out.

"That's what my brother told you?" I was suddenly very grateful to this little Mo in front of me, because she suddenly turned the rush that I had missed my brother so much for the past two years into a strong rush to drag him in front of me and jerk his feet.

I only heard Xiao Mo say: "That's right, he said that's what your grandmother said." "I was petrified on the spot, brother, you dare to love is a copy of the tape!

I had a headache and said, "What era is it, do you still believe this nonsense?" I'm telling you that it doesn't matter how much it burns. What's more, why do you want to play with ghosts, and hold on when you're full? ”

"I have my own problems, please help me. I knew it must be useful, Zixiong told me, he tried. ”

"What...... What ......" I was shocked, my brother tried it, how did I not know, and asked urgently: "When did he try it, why didn't I know?" ”

"On Valentine's Day two years ago, he said he burned all the scraps and really saw ghosts."

I remember that it seems to be two and a half years ago, my grandfather had itchy hands, and he carved a few small pieces of old agarwood materials into a few small ornaments at home, and by the way, he also carved the rhino horn, and the remaining leftovers were put in a glass box, and the glass box was lost in my brother's shop, I know, but I didn't expect that he would suddenly burn the leftovers more than two years ago.

"Do you know what day it is?" I had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with my brother's disappearance.

"All I remember was Monday. Because our company has a regular meeting every Monday morning, we just broke up when he came to me. At that time, I messed up a project, and I was scolded by the manager for a long time at the regular meeting, so I was very impressed. ”

I hurriedly took out my phone and flipped through the perpetual calendar, the Monday around Valentine's Day, the 13th, which was February 13th, February 13th, 2012, the day my brother disappeared.

This time, it was my turn to be more anxious than Xiao Mo, grabbed her arm, and asked, "When did my brother tell you that he burned this rhino horn incense and saw a ghost?" Why did he burn it? Why did you go to Henan after it was burned, did he tell you? ”

Xiao Mo said blankly: "Your brother went to Henan?" ”

"You don't know?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "I don't know, I only know that he found it when he was looking for something that morning, and we happened to talk about some supernatural things two days ago, so he thought it was useless to keep these leftovers, so he wanted to try to burn them, and after the burning, he sent me the photos of the ghosts he took, but I didn't see anything when I received it, but he said that there was." ”

In the morning, by the way, my brother called me at noon, so his disappearance must have something to do with it.

I said to Xiao Mo sincerely: "I am very grateful to you for telling me such useful information, but I really can't give you rhino horn incense, because this is left by the old lady of our family, and I said that it will be passed on from generation to generation." ”

"Is it a problem with money?" Xiao Mo's sudden words made me speechless, she said, "Zixiong said that when an overseas Chinese old man paid $120,000 back then, your grandfather had the idea of selling it......

"My brother told you this?" I'm really going to vomit out a mouthful of blood, Xiangzixiong, if you really die, I'm going to drag you out of the coffin and die.

Xiao Mo said seriously: "Zixiong said, what is not ancestral is an excuse, the key is that the price is not in place." What's more, he said that your grandmother has never liked this thing, and it is good to say it. ”

I really don't know whether to be angry now, or to think that this little Mo and my brother have an unusually close relationship. Ya, it doesn't matter if you say what the family says behind closed doors, and you hit the ghost with rhino horn incense, and you don't tell this sister about such a big thing, but after two years, let me hear this from other women. If I hadn't known who the woman my brother proposed to back then, I would definitely think it was her today!

At this point, I lost my temper and calmly asked, "Then how much are you willing to give?" ”

Xiao Mo pursed her lips and said, "I don't have any money, but I can exchange something very valuable with you." ”

"What's that?"

"The Black Book of the Ghost Master."

"What's that?"

"A secret book that can release ghosts and get rid of ghosts......"
