Volume 6 Paper Shop at the Crossroads The first time a newcomer enters the store

Secret Marriage! As the name suggests, it is the wedding between the deceased, which has formed a custom since the Han Dynasty, and this wind is especially strong during the Song Dynasty, but the special ceremonies and ceremonies mixed with red and white things are different. Of course, there are some places in Yunzhou City that you don't know, and there are such strange stories happening all the time...

Fang Ping, 18 years old, just graduated from high school this year, but unfortunately she dropped out. Her family lives in a small village not far from Yunzhou City, her father went out to work in the early years and was unfortunately injured or injured, her mother has been in the countryside since she was a child, and she has never studied, so she and her younger brother are pulled up by the tens of thousands of compensation given by the construction team, and they are going to go to college, but the family really does not have the financial ability, the younger brother just entered high school this year, Fang Ping thought about it, and finally could only silently hide the university admission letter, and went to Yunzhou City to find a job. In order to make my younger brother not give up the opportunity to go to college when he graduates from high school.

But a week has passed in a blink of an eye, and Fang Ping still hasn't found a job, on the one hand, because her education is not enough, and on the other hand, because she grew up in the countryside, she has seen little of the world, and she has no experience in dealing with people, so it is inevitable that she will not have a job for a while. Seeing that the money she brought was almost spent, Fang Ping was anxious, if she went back like this, how could she explain to her family, wouldn't it bring a greater burden to the family at that time?

Fang Ping anxiously walked around in front of the sign outside the talent market, and the recruitment calls on it were basically all over by her, but there was still no result. Fang Ping sat down dejectedly on the stone bench beside her. Suddenly, a deep and somewhat old voice came from behind him: "Little sister, are you looking for a job?" ”

Fang Ping hurriedly turned his head to see that behind him was a thin old man, about fifty years old, not tall, with gray hair, wearing a blue Chinese cloth shirt, a pair of embarrassed eyes, looking at Fang Ping with a smile at the moment. Seeing this, Fang Ping hurriedly got up and replied, "Yes... How do you know? ”

The old man smiled lightly and replied, "I've seen you here for a few days, and I haven't found you yet?" ”

Fang Ping shook her head slightly. The old man continued: "I have been here for a few days, and there is no suitable one. ”

Fang Ping looked puzzled, she glanced at the old man again, and asked in a low voice, "You... Also here looking for a job? ”

The old man waved his hand and replied: "No, I'm here to recruit people, I didn't meet the right one, I saw you, come and ask." ”

The old man's words suddenly made Fang Ping's heart happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what kind of recruitment are you recruiting?" Do you think I'm a good fit? ”

The old man smiled slightly and replied, "There is only one condition for the person I want, that is, to be bold!" Are you bold? ”

After hearing this, Fang Ping nodded again and again, and replied: "I'm bold, I'm not afraid of what the hell or gods!" ”

The old man smiled again and replied, "It seems that you are quite suitable!" We have food and lodging here, a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, are you willing to come? ”

3,000 yuan!! also includes food and accommodation, which is unimaginable for Fang Ping, she doesn't know how many family units she has run in the past few days, let alone 3,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan salary has not found one, such a good opportunity at this time, of course she doesn't want to miss it! But on second thought, is there really such a good thing? Thinking of this, Fang Ping asked timidly: "Uncle, what are you doing there?" ”

The old man put away his smile and replied with a serious face: "Paper shop!" It's a place that sells dead people's stuff! Do you dare to go? ”

Hearing the word "dead man", Fang Ping couldn't help but feel a slight chill in her back, but after thinking about it again, she just sold the things of the dead and didn't come into contact with the corpse, so she really had nothing to be afraid of, so she replied happily: "Uncle, I dare to go!" Don't be afraid! ”

The old man nodded lightly and replied, "Okay, let's go!" Oh, by the way, don't call me uncle in the future, my surname is Meng, and you can call me Master Meng when you are in the store in the future. ”

Fang Ping's work was settled, so he nodded happily and replied, "Okay, Master Meng!" With that, he picked up his luggage and set off behind Master Meng.

An hour later, the two walked to the gate of Yunzhou People's Hospital, outside the gate of the hospital is a big crossroads, there is a big paper shop at the right corner of the crossroads, there is a big black wooden sign on it, the sign reads "Lingshoutang" three big characters, Master Meng pointed with his finger, said: "That's my shop!" From now on, you'll live here and work here. ”

Fang Ping nodded and did not answer. The two crossed the cross road and came to the door of the store, the store was very spacey, but it was full of all kinds of paper goods, so it seemed a little crowded, there seemed to be no one in the store, Fang Ping stepped in with Master Meng one after the other.

It's also strange to say that when she was outside the store, the weather was still a little hot, but as soon as she stepped into the store, Fang Ping seemed to have walked into an ice cellar, and she suddenly felt cold, and couldn't help but shiver! Master Meng pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for Fang Ping to rest there first, and then walked straight to the back hall.

Fang Ping put down her luggage, sat on the chair, and walked all the way, just enough to rest. She looked up and looked around the store, the paper goods displayed in the store were dense, there were wreaths, paper people, gold mountains, silver mountains, cash cows, all kinds of paper electronic products and daily necessities, many things Fang Ping had not even seen, I couldn't help but feel a little novel, but it didn't take long for Fang Ping's heart to replace a sense of fear, she looked to the back of the store, only to see that there were many coffins neatly parked inside, and I didn't know if there was anyone inside, it looked gloomy, a little chilling! She quickly turned her head and returned her gaze to the front room.

Master Meng didn't know what to do in the back hall, and he didn't see him for a long time, Fang Ping was bored for a while, so he could only lower his head and hum a song quietly! Suddenly!!! A pair of cold hands slowly stretched out from behind Fang Ping... Slowly approaching Fang Ping's head again, the movement was very light, Fang Ping didn't notice it at all, and when he got closer and closer, the cold hands finally covered Fang Ping's eyes!!

This sudden change really scared Fang Ping a lot, and she screamed repeatedly! And hurriedly raised his hand, trying to break free of those hands, but the two hands just touched! She was startled by the cold hands, which were as warm as ice! Could it be ... Corpse? I just had this thought in my head! Fang Ping was so frightened that she stood up, and at the same time, her cold hands also let go...

Fang Ping hurriedly turned around and looked behind him in shock, only to see a young man standing behind him at this time, about twenty years old, with pale skin, thin skin and bones, his face was a little distorted, and he looked demented, staring at Fang Ping at the moment and sneering... Seeing this, Fang Ping screamed again, and was so frightened that she took a few steps back... At the same time, Master Meng also hurriedly ran out of the back hall, saw the young man, and immediately shouted, "So you are here!" Get back to the back room! ”

As soon as the words fell, the man put away his smile, changed his face to a full of anger, glared at Master Meng, turned his head to glare at Fang Ping, and then slowly walked towards the back hall... Master Meng looked at Fang Ping apologetically, Fang Ping was still in horror at this time, Master Meng said, "I'm sorry, I scared you!" That's my son just now.,I accidentally hurt my brain when I was born.,It's always like this.,died early.,No one to bring it.,I had to follow me in this paper shop.。。。 Feel relieved! He had absolutely no ill will. ”

Fang Ping patted his violently beating chest, it turned out that he was Master Meng's son, and he was so frightening to be so troubled by him, but after thinking about it, in fact, he was quite pitiful, Fang Ping shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Master Meng, it's okay." ”

Master Meng led Fang Ping through the piles of stuffed paper goods, and cautiously came to the second floor, the second floor was also full of paper goods, there was a small room in the innermost, Master Meng opened the door, the room was not big, only a single bed and a small cabinet could be stuffed, there was a small window above the bed, Master Meng turned his head and said: "In the future, you will live here, the conditions are limited, you will take a look, the bathroom is downstairs, you clean up quickly, I will wait for you downstairs, work here, there are some things I still have to explain to you." After that, without waiting for Fang Ping to answer, he turned around and walked downstairs with "knock, knock".

Fang Ping looked around, although the room was a little smaller, but anyway, it was a place to stay, and his own home was not much better than here, so he began to pack his luggage, and after more than ten minutes, he went downstairs.

Master Meng was drinking tea and saw Fang Ping coming down, so he pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for Fang Ping to sit down. So he said: "There are some things I want to explain to you clearly, you work here, mainly to take care of the store when I am not there, and don't worry about the rest." You can't go into the back hall on the first floor anyway; Also, sometimes I have friends who come to visit and may come to your room, and then you will be wronged and live in the attic on the first floor. He looked at the attic not far away, and pointed to it. continued: "There are some longevity materials in the back of the store, but you don't have to be afraid, they are all empty, and they are also sold in the store. Okay, that's all there is to it, do you hear them all clearly? ”

Fang Ping nodded hurriedly and replied in a low voice: "It's all clear!" ”
