Chapter 93 Paper Shop
It dawned on me that I had fallen for this little girl. Alas...... It's okay, I'm feeling very uncomfortable at this time, so it's right to go to the hospital. I just don't want her to send me there, if only Sister Liu was sitting next to me.
I turned my head to look at Wang Xiaoru, who was taking out her wallet and said softly:
"So you give me this talisman, I always wear it by my side, you see......"
Looking down, it was true, the first talisman I drew was neatly inserted in her purse. I really saved her just now.
I took out another prayer charm from my bosom, folded it into a triangle, handed it to her, and said:
"That talisman is useless, come, put this one in, give me that one ......"
Wang Xiaoru took my newly folded talisman and took out the scrapped talisman, but instead of handing it to me, she stuffed it deeper into her wallet and said:
"If I don't give it to you, I'll keep it if it's useless......"
This......
I really don't have the strength to dwell on these things at the moment, so she can do whatever she likes. I turned my head out the window and looked backwards, confused.
……
There were not many people in the emergency room, I was lying on the hospital bed, the doctor said that I was infected with bacteria and viruses, and today I wanted to leave, lying on the bed in the infusion room and hanging water.
Persuaded Wang Xiaoru to go home without success, now she is sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the bottle of liquid, this is already the second bottle, when the first bottle, she guarded it like this, until the loss, the nurse she shouted changed the bottle, it seems that she is iron-hearted, and she wants to help me finish this bottle.
……
This illness gave me two days of rest, but Wang Xiaoru worked hard in the past two days, basically did not go home to rest a few times, ran between the hospital and the City God Temple, accompanied me to the infusion every day, and served me and Xu Daoquan three meals a day.
I knew that it was useless to persuade her, so I silently calculated her expenses in the past few days, and planned to find an opportunity to return it to her.
During the period, I called Gao Liang several times, but this goods did not chase the ghost who escaped, and I didn't get any news of Huang Jian in the past two days.
I couldn't help but get anxious, Dayu County was originally Zhao Yuan's jurisdiction, and he disappeared before Huang Jian passed, and now Gao Liang has been hanging there for three days, but he has found nothing, Huang Jian can't have something wrong, right?
Fortunately, what I was worried about did not happen, and on the second night of my illness, as soon as I closed the temple door, I felt a gust of wind blowing in through the gate
- Huang Jian is back, dusty, haggard, this trip has obvious weight loss effects, the flesh on his face is less, and there are five or six ghosts behind him.
"Master Huang! Are you back? How's it going over there? Did you meet the highlights? ”
Huang Jian's face was full of sadness:
"Don't talk about me, how did you do it? How did you beat the head of Wanxiang? ”
Hit the head of the township? Although I burned in a mess that day, I really remember that I didn't even touch a single hair of Wan Xiangchang, and only threw two talismans on the ground, which scared him.
"I didn't hit him! Only two talismans were lost, which scared him. ”
"Why are you offending him?! Now it's okay, he called me first, just to say that you even dare to call him, lawless, and write a report on the crime. I didn't persuade me to live or die, and now you, me, and your master will all be implicated. ”
I was stunned:
"Master and you? I'm just scaring him, what's the matter with you? ”
Huang Jian sighed:
"Are you stupid? You are the person who made the register, and you are my subordinate. If you really beat up your boss, will I be able to get away with it? Think about it again, what are you using to fight ghosts? The apprenticeship is also recorded, and you are not allowed to look for your master, wright? ”
As soon as I heard it, it was over, although I didn't hit him, but I couldn't run away by scolding him and scaring him.
One person does things and one person is responsible for this, and Huang Jian and my master can't be implicated in this matter.
"One person does things and one person does it, what is there to make that Wanxiang chief rush at me."
Huang Jian glared at me:
"When is it all gone, still a hero!? What the hell is going on? ”
I took this opportunity to tell Huang Jian about the series of things about Dashishan and Chenghuang Temple, and Huang Jian frowned after listening:
"Of these things, the biggest thing is the matter of raising yin soldiers, but the most urgent thing is your matter. Listen, tomorrow you go to buy more yellow paper, buy more gold and silver mountain paper, and burn it in the City God Temple at night, I will take the money to do some dots to see if I can make a big deal small. ”
Huang Jian is not very reliable except when he fights, and he is still quite old and serious at other times, I nodded and asked:
"Master Huang, how are you over there? Have you found Zhao Yuan? ”
Huang Jian made a bitter face and snorted at the little ghosts behind him:
"Don't mention it, hey, I've been busy for days to catch a few of them. I don't know how long Zhao Yuan has been missing, there are many ghosts in the jurisdiction who have passed the soul leaving period, and it is difficult to deal with them. I'm coming back today to collect all that I have in my own precinct. I'll send them down first, I don't have time today, and we'll discuss what to do tomorrow. ”
After speaking, he waved the token and opened the ghost door. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned back to me and said:
"By the way, tomorrow you go to the street and buy thirty strings, try to buy black ones, just the thickness of the earphone cable. Don't forget it. ”
After saying that, he pulled a few imps down.
I was very close to the ghost gate this time, and when I looked inside, it was black and rumbling, and I couldn't see anything. I wish I never had to go down this path, but who wouldn't?
I have to hang salt water tomorrow, and I didn't wait for Huang Jian to come back. I went straight back to the house and fell asleep.
In the past few days, under the care of Wang Xiaoru, I have eaten well and slept well, coupled with active treatment, the disease has been cured, and the next day after hanging the salt water, I bought 30 strings according to Huang Jian's "instructions", and then I had to buy some burning paper.
It is not allowed to burn paper in the city, but the traditional culture still cannot be extinguished, to the Spring Festival, Qingming, Zhongyuan Festival, many vegetable markets and grocery stores will have wax yellow paper for sale, but not the New Year's Festival, this kind of thing is difficult to find.
Fortunately, the last time I burned paper for Li Helin, I found a "Zhongji Paper Binding Shop" in the north of the city, so it was not a problem for me.
The north of Jiqing City is an old industrial area, and in recent years, the hardware has not been popular with software, and the land price in the south of the city has grown wildly, and the heat is shining. Comparatively speaking, the north of the city is much more deserted, all of which are sunset industries, but some old shops have been precipitated, and basically the best snacks in Jiqing City are concentrated in the north of the city.
"Zhong Kee Paper Shop" is a long-established brand, but in recent years, the signboard has been changed to "Zhong Kee Stationery Store". In the alley, the door is small, but the things are very complete.
All kinds of "Taoist items" we use are bought here. The shopkeeper is a little old man, the neighbors around him call him Lao Zhongtouer, Huang Jian has checked his bottom, relatively clean, does not know the Tao, is an ordinary person who lives by selling some incense, candles and yellow paper.
It's strange today, I finished the hanging bottle and sent Wang Xiaoru home, it was afternoon when I got here, and the old clock's shop was not open.
Old man Zhong's shop maintains the tradition, there is no roller shutter installed, and the store has to be opened and closed every day. I looked through the crack in the door, and there was no one there.
I knew that Old Man Zhong lived on the second floor of the store, so he knocked on the door and shouted:
"Uncle Zhong! Is Uncle Zhong here? ”
After a few shouts, there was a "cluck", and a piece of the door panel was torn down from the inside, and the face of a young man, a head shorter than me, was miserable and white. The two figure-of-eight eyebrows set the tone of the whole face - embarrassment.
What's more, the expression is also very cooperative, and the face is unhappy:
"My uncle isn't at home, what's wrong with you?"
It turns out that this young man with the word "embarrassment" is the nephew of Old Man Zhong, so where did Old Man Zhong go?
"Oh, I have something to do with Uncle Zhong. I want to buy some paper. When will he be back? ”
The face of the word "embarrassment" responded:
"Oh, come in, take it yourself, the QR codes of v letter and Z Fubao are all on the wall, scan it yourself."
After saying that, he lazily walked behind the desk in the store, pressed the computer, and seemed to be playing a game.
In broad daylight, the doors and windows were closed, and there was not even a single light on, only a ray of sunlight shone in from the crack in the removed door panel. The room was dark, the shelves were in a mess, and I didn't know the price of anything except rune paper, so I asked:
"How much is that? Dude, can you turn on the lights? ”
The face of the word "embarrassed" was behind the table, and he didn't raise his head, continued to play his game, and said:
"There's a price on it, see for yourself."
