Chapter 11: The Old Woman
Still buying?
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai suddenly changed their faces.
This old woman, do you still want to buy and sell forcefully?
If it were on weekdays, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai would definitely turn around and leave.
But now...... No one knows the way here, only this old woman knows that if she wants to find the Lingcha Mansion, she has to rely on her.
Thinking of this, Liu Laosan showed a look of embarrassment and said, "Old woman...... We're running out of money...... Not to mention...... We have already bought what to eat...... It's enough...... If you buy it again, I'm afraid it won't come in handy. ”
When the old woman heard this, she said pitifully, "Young man, I'm here to ...... It also sells some practical things...... Two of you, buy a little bit, my wife is in business, it's not easy to ......"
The tone of the old woman's voice seemed to be begging the two of them.
Liu Laosan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and asked, "What practical things?" ”
"Whew...... Fortune Water ......" While the old woman was talking, she took out a small blue bottle from the goods, which contained water, and shook it in front of Liu Laosan and Ah Hai.
"Fortune water?" Liu Laosan and Ah Hai's eyes widened, as if they were a little surprised.
The old woman nodded and said, "This thing can be used by yourself, and after drinking it, you can improve your financial luck...... If you buy it and return to the world of the living, you will drink this water, and within a hundred days you will be rich......
And such a good thing?
Hearing the old woman say this, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai suddenly "chuckled" in their hearts and were dumbfounded.
The two looked at each other and suddenly couldn't believe it.
The old woman smiled mysteriously and said, "The things I sell here are all genuine...... If you like it, buy it and try it, and you'll know. ”
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai have been poor all their lives, and when they heard that they could get rich, this was undoubtedly a great temptation for them.
What's more, the copper coins in this basket were not his own, they were given by Fang Xuan.
If you can really buy this so-called "wealth water" and return to the world, why worry about working for the rest of your life?
But......
Liu Laosan's copper coins have been spent.
Now, only Ah Hai's basket remains, and there are five copper coins.
Ah Hai looked at the money in the basket, frowned, and asked, "Old woman, how much do you sell for your fortune?" ”
"Not much, just five copper coins!"
"Five copper coins?"
Hearing this, Liu Laosan's heart itched.
He didn't have the money to buy it.
"I have just five copper coins here, Lao Liu...... Or...... How about we bought this fortune water? Go back and give it a try...... If I really get rich, I will definitely not treat your family badly......" Ah Hai looked at Liu Laosan on the side and said in a consultative tone.
After hearing this, Liu Laosan suddenly became a little unsure.
Five copper coins, not much.
If this wealth is useless, the two of them have nothing to lose.
If this wealth water is useful, then they will return to the world of the living, and the two of them will not have to live that hard life again.
At this moment, Ah Hai seemed to have forgotten what they were doing this trip, his eyes were shining, staring at the fortune water in the old woman's hand.
Seeing Liu Laosan's hesitation, Ah Hai made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said: "No matter, I will buy this fortune water, I ......will buy it."
After that, he handed over the five copper coins in his hand.
"Stop him......"
At this moment, Liu Laosan only felt a shout ringing in his ears.
This voice was none other than Fang Xuan's voice.
Suddenly, Liu Laosan was shocked, came back to his senses, and hurriedly stopped him, and grabbed Ah Hai's wrist at once.
"Lao Liu...... You ......" Ah Hai was stunned.
Liu Laosan said: "Before I came, the Taoist chief instructed that things that exceed three copper coins cannot be bought...... Don't...... Have you forgotten? ”
Ah Hai suddenly shook his head and came to his senses.
Just now, the two of them, who didn't know what the situation was, seemed to have been hooked by this old woman who suddenly appeared, and completely left Fang Xuan's words behind.
Fang Xuan had told them not to talk to the spirit too much, if it hadn't woken up Liu Laosan with a shout, I was afraid that they wouldn't know what was going to happen.
Thinking of this, Liu Laosan broke out in a cold sweat.
Ah Hai gritted his teeth in anger, and said viciously to the old woman in front of him: "Old thing, you quickly tell us the way...... Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out Fang Xuan's charm from the basket.
When the old woman saw it, she suddenly showed a look of fear, her body couldn't help shrinking back, and she hurriedly said, "Young man...... Don't be impulsive...... This ...... This is the road to the Spiritual's Mansion......"
With that, he pointed to the road to the right with his hand.
"I've heard that the geists are full of nonsense...... Old thing, if you dare to lie to us...... I'll let your soul fly away immediately,...... Ah Hai said, holding the talisman in one hand and picking up the old woman's collar in the other.
"Don't dare...... Can't...... I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you......" The old woman was terrified, for fear that Ah Hai's charm would really be pasted.
The charm of this gate has the power to suppress evil spirits and drive away demons, which is simply a great killing weapon for this ordinary wandering spirit.
Rao is no matter how bold this old woman is, in front of this spell, she doesn't dare to say half a lie.
After confirming the road repeatedly, Liu Laosan and Ah Hai were relieved.
"Let's go!"
Ah Hai let go of the old woman, and embarked on the road to the Lingcha Mansion with the wandering soul and Liu Laosan who led the way.
The fog of confusion drifted slowly, with a hint of coolness.
The figures of the three disappeared into the mist.
The old woman, seeing the three of them walking away, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly packed up the goods, picked them up, and left here.
"Lao Liu, thanks to your reminder, otherwise...... I'm afraid I'm going to fall for the old woman's demagoguery. Ah Hai said with palpitations.
Liu Laosan sighed and said, "Even you are bewitched, how could I not be tricked?" Just now...... If it weren't for the Taoist chief's shout ringing in my ears, it dawned on me, I'm afraid that now, both of us will miss a big ......."
When Ah Hai heard this, he sighed in surprise and said, "That Dao chief is really a master!" ”
This time, he was convinced.
The two walked some way, and then they met a starving ghost, and gave the remaining two eggs in the basket.
The sky seemed to be darkening.
On this road, it is getting more and more gloomy.
In a trance, I saw only an old man, carrying a burden, appeared.
Selling things again?
Liu Laosan and Ah Hai glanced at each other, and they were both taken aback.
An old woman just left, and at this moment, another old man came.
Anyway, there are still five copper coins left, so I just buy some more things, and when I get to the Lingcha later, I will also have an explanation, so that the items offered will not be too shabby.
Ah Hai used the five copper coins in his hand to buy a pound of oranges and a pound of apples.
After the transaction, the two packed up and prepared to leave.
The old man, with a gloomy smile on his face, looked at the two of them, and said faintly: "Hou Shengzi, you ...... Where are you going? ”
