Chapter 1: Red Ghost Becomes Red Ghost
The two of them ran out of the cave desperately, this rich businessman, everyone who has heard the previous document knows that there are many black-hearted people who do business in the world, and he is considered to be black and black-hearted, and there is no one more inhuman than him! Running out of the cave, in the wilderness, it can be said that there is no way to go, or it can be said that there are roads everywhere. The two of them panicked and ran forward, just wanting to get as far away from the cave as possible. Rich businessman, after all, he is rich, he eats more and moves less, and others run and sweat, and at most a little fine salt on his body is considered great, so this rich businessman runs and has direct oil on his body! I didn't know if I was in poor health, or I stumbled on some grass and branches, and when I slipped under my feet, I fell there, and there was a puddle of oil on the ground. The two people we said ran away, the rich merchant ran in front, and the young man followed behind him. At this moment he fell to the ground, and naturally he turned to look at the man behind him. The man followed, and when he took two steps to the front, one of them staggered to the ground, panting heavily, and screaming, 'Hey, okay, let's get out.' The rich merchant also calmed down a little and sat down for a while. My heart was pounding, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became: this young man...... How can a young man speak like a little girl? Just as he was wondering, the young man next to him spoke again: "Let's go, uncle." The rich merchant turned his head and looked, "Oh! The person next to him was dressed like a young man, but with this face...... It was so white that it was clearly the face of the woman he had seen in the cave! The rich merchant was sitting on the ground at this time, and he was really afraid, and his legs were too weak to stand up, so he stretched out his legs and kicked on the ground, moved his buttocks back, and stammered when he spoke: 'Go...... Walk...... Where to go? Then a crisp voice answered, 'Yo, where are you going?' I'll lead you to see what Lord Yama looks like! βγ The gentleman slapped the waking wood on the table, and the book came to an end.
These people in the tea shop also cheered, and they originally grabbed a handful of melon seeds to eat, but they also put down the melon seeds in their hands first, and they all applauded.
"Rank, Uncle Chen can talk about it......" Mr. Storyteller was about to continue talking, but was stopped by these people in the audience.
"Don't say it, go down, go down!" The audience drank tea, drank and ate melon seeds, and these people all shouted.
These people are all cheering, and they usually like to listen to this old gentleman's storytelling. I threw all the melon seeds in my hand just now, and I have to applaud! Why did the old gentleman open his mouth to speak again, and no one would let him say it? Before storytelling, when he came on stage, he first greeted people and chatted with others, attracting everyone's attention and slowly bringing people to the atmosphere. Okay, as soon as you come on stage, you start to endorse, and these masters under the stage talk about each other, and no one looks at you, then you can't do this business! At this time, when the gentleman finished speaking, he patted the waking wood, and then he wanted to speak, which belonged to idle talk. They are all old acquaintances, and the audience is joking with this old gentleman, either really trying to bomb him away, or joking with him.
The old gentleman didn't take it to heart, and said with a kind smile: "Your lords drove me away, and I don't have the face to stand here, I'll leave after saying another word." Uncle Chen said, it has risen to three taels of silver! After saying that, he gave up his hands and stepped down.
After listening to the book, Mr. also left, and the group of people in the audience became lively as soon as you said a word.
"Huh! The gentleman said that the book asked for money, and the gentleman of this family said that the book cost people's lives! β
"Hahahaha......"
"Where did this come from?"
"Huh! That's a good name! Haha, 'Mr. Reacher', hahaha......"
Mr. is a storyteller, how can he still manage people and ask for their lives? He said anything, but he couldn't mention this "Master Chen". Mr. Chen's surname is Chen, and he is not a big official, but he is generous, he is also old, and the shopkeeper is polite, and he is called "Mr. Chen". Old man Chen has something to do, so he asked the shopkeeper to help him, and when he talked about things with the shopkeeper like this and this, the shopkeeper nodded: "It's just right!" We have an old storyteller who usually tells stories about demons and monsters, why don't you discuss it with him? β
The shopkeeper led Mr. Chen to meet with the storyteller, and relayed the matter again. In a few words, the matter was settled, and Mr. also accepted the benefits of Old Man Chen and promised to do this for him. It's not a big deal, it's just that the storyteller is annoying, and when he chatted with the audience after finishing the book, he mentioned it by the way: Mr. Chen wants to find a person who guards the cemetery at night and gives him two taels of silver a month. As soon as this matter is said, everyone can understand, why did Old Man Chen come here to find someone? ββThese people who often come here to drink tea are all bold, and they love to listen to ghost stories! No, I really have the courage to say this, and as soon as the old gentleman finished the book and told him about it, several people stood up at the bottom, vying to go. A few days later, the old gentleman mentioned this matter again, and there was no one to pick up the stubble; And today, when this matter is mentioned, everyone says: "The old gentleman is not telling a story, he is asking for his life!" "It's just because the few people who went to guard the cemetery in the first few days, one by one, were all carried out in a blur of flesh and blood! Now the old gentleman tells ghost stories, and the people below listen to them with relish, and when they mention "Master Chen", the people below are almost scared to death. Isn't it, there's no way, today I mentioned "it's risen to three taels of silver", try to see if there must be a brave man under the heavy money.
"Seriously, this money...... But it's up to three taels of silver, and no one is going here? β
"Are you going?"
"Don't don't, don't make this money......"
"Oh, really...... Brother Wang, Brother Wang! You're not going either? Three taels, do you do that work, have you ever seen three taels of silver all year round? β
"What kind of heart do you kid have? Why don't you go? β
"I'll go! Little two! Come! I'll go! β
The people in the entire tea shop were silent, and they all looked around dumbfounded.
"Come on! Which one is called? The shopkeeper ran out, still holding a rag in his hand.
I heard the tables in the northeast corner shouting: "Here! Let's take a look at this master! β
Everyone looked at it intently, and it turned out to be a blacksmith "red ghost" - a blacksmith, with infinite strength, and he didn't know what his name was, and he came to the tea shop to drink tea, and everyone he didn't know said hello, and he didn't say that he had to say his real name and surname, just have a title - this person loves to drink, his face is red after drinking, and he is tanned all over his body on weekdays, and when he drinks like a piece of carbon that is being burned red, he looks like a person, and everyone calls him "red ghost".
Seeing the excitement is not a big deal, they all shouted and encouraged: "Yes, yes, the cemetery still has to be guarded by ghosts!" It's all ghosts, who's afraid of whom! β
"Huh! I'm afraid the red ghost didn't drink too much, right? Don't be scared for a moment......"
"Exactly! It doesn't matter if you drink too much, when you get to the ground after a while, you will be scared and your crotch will be wet, and you will get rid of the hangover! β
"Hahahaha......"
The shopkeeper didn't say much, and pulled the red ghost into the backyard to find the shopkeeper. Yes, the ghost guards the cemetery, which is very suitable; Plus this is another drunkard, drunk and dizzy, how can you be afraid of anything?
The shopkeeper was rigorous, and repeatedly confirmed with the red ghost: "Are you drunk and talking nonsense?" β
The red ghost was rough and angry, pulling his neck and shouting: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk!" You know, isn't it just a cemetery? You don't have to do anything, just go in and get some sleep, right? β
"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep!" The shopkeeper's heart said.
The most taboo in the world is to reason with an alcoholic, no matter what you tell him, he is also in and out of the left ear, and he does not listen to persuasion at all. The shopkeeper couldn't stand up to him, and estimated that Uncle Chen hadn't slept at this time, and said, "In this way, I'll take you to find Uncle Chen, and he has the final say in this matter." The red ghost nodded vigorously: "Go, go, hurry!" β
It was more than nine o'clock in the evening, and at that time, people had not yet sung such activities as K Bundi, and they went to bed early, and at about this hour, there was no one on the road.
The road is not far, through two alleys and two alleys, less than ten minutes' foot, the two of them arrived at the outside of the house where Master Chen lived. Along the way, the shopkeeper told the drunk, "Let's talk about it, it's late at night, if Master Chen doesn't sleep, you can go in; If people are asleep, let's turn around and leave, but don't make noise. The red ghost impatiently agreed: "Yes, yes, are you really drunk when I am?" I'm not a fool! β
When I got here, the lights were still on, and the shopkeeper knocked lightly on the door, paused, and knocked twice.
"Here we go! Who is it? It's still ...... Oh, the shopkeeper! This is? β
The shopkeeper's smiling face: "No, I found someone for you, he said he was coming, I thought you should also sleep, just when the light was on, I knocked on the door, if it was dark in the house, we ......"
"Okay, got it, come in and talk, come in and talk."
There was tea in the pot, it was still warm, and a cup was poured for it, and the shopkeeper and Old Man Chen sat down, and the red ghost was still standing stunned.
Old man Chen, who is old and has bright eyes, quickly glanced up and down, and beckoned to the red ghost: "Come, sit, drink some tea to warm up." β
The red ghost staggered and muttered, "Eh! It's not cold, I'm warm, my whole body is warm! β
"You...... Are you going to the cemetery? β
"Go...... Go, go now. β
The shopkeeper's Nunu mouth: "Look at this ......"
"Okay!" Old man Chen said. Anyway, I can't find anyone, so it's a one! And looking at this state, this person is estimated to drink a few more sips and fall asleep, which is very suitable.
Old Man Chen took out a bunch of money and stuffed it into the red ghost's hand: "You take these first, it's not enough, you can take it again, anyway, three taels of silver a month, it's not short for you." β
The red ghost got the money, the corners of his mouth salivated, and he was very grateful.
Old man Chen sent the shopkeeper away. After explaining the situation in the cemetery to the red ghost, at the request of the red ghost, he gave the red ghost a pot of wine, turned off the lights, and took the red ghost out. Before going out, Mr. Chen specially asked, "What else do you not bring?" The red ghost sniffed the aroma of wine and grinned: "No, no, you can get this pot of wine!" β
Old Man Chen led the red ghost to the cemetery, ordered "rest early", and left by himself. Leave the red ghost himself in the cemetery.
As usual, the red ghost drank a lot of wine, and it was too late, so it was time to lie down and rest, but today is different! didn't do anything, he got a lot of money first, and Old Man Chen gave him a pot of good wine, where have you ever encountered such a pie in the sky?! The red ghost glanced at the money on his waist, and sniffed the pot of wine, oops, not to mention how happy he was, in a word: I was so happy that I couldn't sleep.
The red ghost hummed a little song, walked around the cemetery, drank wine as he walked, but he was bold, he didn't bother to look at the graves, big and small, he only cared about drinking, singing, and admiring the flowers and the moon. After going around in a big circle, my heart said, "That's it! Look at this cemetery, planting flowers and grass, like the back garden, more beautiful than the place where the living live! β
Tired of walking, he paced past the grave to the middle of the cemetery, where the old man Chen told him that there was a room where he could sleep. Sure enough, there was a large room, which was not locked, and he pushed the door and entered, and lit a candle by the moonlight. After walking a few steps left and right, the room was very simple but had everything, with a table and a few benches in the middle, a bed against the west wall, and a basin, a pot and firewood on the east wall.
Pouring out some hot water to wash his feet, the red ghost lay on the bed, closed his eyes and thought: "Hmph, these greedy people who are afraid of death, no one dares to respond to this job?!" As soon as the morning dawns, I have to find the old man Chen, and while he is still old and confused, I tell him that I have taken this job, and I am willing to do it for the rest of my life! Thinking about it, he fell asleep with a smile on his face......
"Master Chen can say it...... "The old gentleman can't help it, he is entrusted with the matter of loyalty, every time he wakes up after telling a story in the past few days, this is the usual sentence."
"Get out, get out!"
"Sir, no matter how scary you are, we won't be here tomorrow!"
The old gentleman was coaxed away first, and there was a heated discussion at the bottom.
"Huh! What about mentioning? You don't know what the hell that ...... was called yesterday."
"Red Ghost, Red Ghost."
"Hey...... You don't know? β
"I'm busy working, and I don't ...... I didn't hear much about it. β
"Red ghosts, it's really red ghosts today!"
"What do you mean?"
"Now, when you bring it out...... The whole body is bloody, and the whole person is red! β
"Did you see that?!"
"I ...... I also heard from a few woodcutters who came down from the hill and happened to pass by the cemetery, and they saw that it was really a red ghostβa dead man with a red body. β
"Shut up! You talk about things during the day, don't talk about it when it's dark...... Lift, where did it go? β
"Didn't you let me say it?"
"Don't talk about red ghosts, you drank with here yesterday, aren't you afraid of seeing the real red ghosts when you turn around?"
"Huh! Don't be so scary, can you? This one quickly glanced back.
"Say, where did you go?"
"Where else can you carry it? Whoever owns will carry them. That old man Chen will pay a coffin and leave some money, and this matter will be settled. It's not like someone killed you, you say this...... Fight with a ghost and die, where do you go to reason? β
"I think too, evil nature!"
"That's not good, give so much money, the old gentleman tells ghost stories here every day, and he doesn't dare to do this!"
The person who lay down and was still smiling yesterday was really carried out early this morning, with a hideous face, as if he had suffered some inhuman torture before his death. It's the same person who said last night that he was warm all over, and today he is cold.
