Chapter 150: Lilac Talks About Ghosts

Gong Changyu looked up at the restaurant, oh hey, there are three floors, each floor has an area of thousands of square meters, the guys are busy, just like the morning market and night market on the street, maybe the whole Panyu City is the most spacious and high-end restaurant.

The name of the inn is Jun Zailai, Gong Changyu knows these words, after all, he has been with his daughter-in-law Feng Jiaoer for almost a year, and he has more or less memorized hundreds of common words.

Looking at those red fresh lychees again, Gong Changyu was overjoyed, peeled a lychee, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then spit out the lychee core, hugged his fists and smiled: "I eat 300 lychees a day, and I don't want to be a Lingnan person." Old man, how much silver do these big baskets of lychees get? ”

The owner of the restaurant stroked his long beard and replied: "This is planted by the people of Liwan themselves, in order to thank you for rescuing those girls and women in Panyu, we specially sent it, and we don't need to give silver." If you like to eat, eat more, you are free. ”

"Old man, isn't that good? We are doing things for the people, where our responsibilities lie, and eating and drinking for nothing will be investigated. Gong Changyu took out a silver ingot from his arms, put it on the table, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, collect the cashierβ€”β€”"

"Okayβ€”" A young man ran over and put the money away.

The old man hurriedly called the shopkeeper and asked him to keep the silver, and then said to Gong Changyu with a smile: "General, this is a piece of the heart of the villagers in Liwan, we can't take your money." And all your food and drink to-day shall be recorded in my account, and my treats shall be counted. ”

"Old man, you are trying to trap me in injustice. We are the army of the people, different from the army of the imperial court, we have discipline, we really can't take the people's things, we can't accept the people's invitations. Gong Changyu stopped again and again.

"Hey, what are you afraid of. You were invited by the Governor to rescue Panyu City, that is, the army of the imperial court. The Governor's Mansion should be responsible for your accommodation expenses, but the treasury silver of the Governor's Mansion has been robbed by the Eagle Strike Li people, and we Panyu people know that Prince Fu has his difficulties, so we have all the food and lodging......" The old man declared again.

"But it's disrespectful, then I'd better be respectful." Gong Changyu no longer refused. The old man called a guy and led the soldiers to the lobby on the second floor......

It's strange, how did this old man know that we were coming to his restaurant? How did he know that Prince Fu had given him a secret letter? Gong Changyu pondered, if the people who eat the common people are known by Jiang Changyi's rabbit cub, it will be a big trouble, no matter what he is, Lao Tzu's troops were pulled away by him, he shouldn't embarrass me everywhere, he knows Prince Fu, I also know, I'm afraid of a hair!

What is the old man's surname and name, Gong Changyu didn't ask, just talked to him. I don't know the name of the "good old man", so I eat and drink in the restaurant, so it's better to stabilize a little.

Gong Changyu didn't go upstairs directly, he grabbed a young man with tea: "Little brother, may I ask your boss's name?" ”

"General, our boss's surname is An, it seems that his name is An Moxi, I don't know very well. Those of us who ran the hall didn't dare to call him by his name, and we all called him Shopkeeper An. The young man replied weakly.

"Oh. It seems that your shopkeeper is very majestic. Okay, there's nothing for you to do, go ahead with your business. Gong Changyu took out 500 copper coins and rewarded the young man.

When the young man saw that Gong Changyu had given him a reward, he walked a few steps with a smile and came back: "General, if you still want to know something, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

Gong Changyu couldn't think of anything to ask for the time being, so he patted the young man's shoulder: "Little brother, when I remember, I will come to you." β€œ

"Hmm. General, my name is Ding Xianghua......" said the young man.

"What, your name is Lilac?" Gong Changyu interrupted Ding Xianghua's words and was surprised, "Who gave you such a feminine name?" ”

"My mother took it because she likes lilacs...... General, how do you know my mixed name? Lilac laughed.

"Oh oh oh, I see. You must have a lot of brothers in your family, and there are no sisters, so you gave you a girl's name? Gong Changyu stretched out a finger and said with a smile.

"That's right. I really don't have any girls in my family, I'm the eldest in the family, so I ......," Lilac said with a smile.

"Little brother, you are working in this restaurant, how much silver will Shopkeeper An give you a month?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Three or two. I also give a red envelope reward when the New Year is over. Lilac replied.

"Yes, your welfare is good." Gong Changyu smacked his tongue.

"It's ok. I've been working here for more than a year, and I've already got dozens of trucks of silver, and I'm sure I'll be paid on time on the first day of every month. Lilac poured a cup of herbal tea for Gong Changyu from the teapot in her hand.

"By the way, I heard that the thirteen lines of Liwan are often haunted, is it true?" Gong Changyu held the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Shhhhhh Almost every year in Liwan, someone dies inexplicably, either at a loss in business, or the god jumps off the building or dies violently......" Lilac signaled Gong Changyu not to stretch out.

"Great God? What kind of god? Gong Changyu was very puzzled.

"General, great god, are those who are delirious and in a trance. Great snake spirit disease. Lilac explained, "There are so many supernatural events. ”

"General Ben went to the cemetery at the age of fifteen to rob the tomb, where are there any ghosts or the like. I don't believe there are ghosts or gods in this world. Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"General, I'll take you to the mass grave in Liwan tonight, and you'll understand." Lilac put the handkerchief on her shoulder, "Don't talk to you, I'll wait for my busy work, and the shopkeeper will deduct my salary again." ”

"Okay, you can go about your business." Gong Changyu waved his hand......

When it comes to supernatural events and ghosts, Gong Changyu remembers the time when he went to private school with his cousin Gong Tianyuan when he was a child. The brothers passed by a place full of graves, and jumped and crawled and crawled and climbed boredly to a coffin board that was not buried, because of the shock, the difficult woman lying in the coffin died and came back to life, and almost did not scare the two brothers to death, and it is still a little creepy to think about it. However, I later learned that the dystocia was a fake death, not a real death, and belonged to a special kind of "death".

When he was a little older, that is, Gong Changyu ate and drank in the Zhu family compound for a few years, the society could not kill the prevalent tomb robbery, and it was rumored that so-and-so dug up treasures such as golden turtles and golden horses, and made a fortune, Zhu Shuiqiang, Zhu Rongsen, and Zhu Yuming got together and discussed going to Xie Jiachong (located diagonally opposite Wanggong Bridge, it is said that there are often ghosts here) in the cemetery to make a stroke.

On a snowy day, the moonlit night was hazy, and a few little guys braved the biting cold, carrying pickaxes, hoes, shovels, and dustpans, and ran to the graveyard where Artemisia grass was born and dug up all night, digging six or seven tombs, except for four or five jade buttons, nothing was dug up, of course, not counting the skulls, leg bones, and patellas that were cut out. If there were ghosts, they would have been strangled to death in the cemetery. Of course, it is immoral to go to dig up the tomb of the ownerless, Gong Changyu still feels a little guilty in his heart, and the soul of the dead cannot live in peace underground.

They robbed the tomb in secret, but Zhu Rongsen hid the jade button in a leather bag in the martial arts field, and was discovered by his aunt Gong Lanping, for which the two little guys were hung by the family with half of the pig, and the bamboo shoots fried meat were served for about ten minutes, and the skin was opened, and the aunt Gong Lanping warned him that the tomb robber would be judged by the king of Hades if he died, chop off his limbs, throw them into the oil pot and fry the corpse, and then go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and live forever in the animal road reincarnation, and he will not be reincarnated for 100,000 years.

Since then, Gong Changyu has not robbed the tomb again. Of course, he is an atheist and doesn't want to believe in the existence of demons and monsters, and he argues with a distant little cousin, the foodie lady Zhou Xiaoyi, for this matter, and the fight is red-faced, and finally it is over. Naturally, Zhou Xiaoyi won, after all, good men don't fight women. Zhou Xiaoyi ignored him for a long time, and after she got married, she never had contact with this competing cousin, it is said that the foodie lady married into the family of a big local tyrant in Liwan, and she had no worries about food and clothing, and she disdained to communicate with her poor cousin.

Now in Panyu City, I heard that Liwan was haunted, Gong Changyu decided to go there to see what was going on, and by the way, I inquired about the whereabouts of the foodie lady. After having lunch at the "Jun Again" restaurant, Gong Changyu was almost drunk, so he took more than 50 of his soldiers and took a few boats to Baisha Island.

There are more than 800 fishermen on Baisha Island, who have been fishing for generations. Every time before going out to sea, the fishermen go to a Mazu temple on the island to offer incense and pray for blessings. There is an ancient well in the Mazu Temple, the water of the well is sweet, the sand at the bottom of the well is white, and the water becomes golden under the sunlight. Legend has it that cranes often come to this well to drink, as the mangrove forests on the island are becoming less and less, the white cranes come less, and finally disappear, and the scene of cranes flying in Baisha Ancient Well is rare.

As soon as Gong Changyu landed on the beach of Baisha Island, fishermen rushed up from the coconut grove with harpoons, spears, and muskets, but at the head was a woman, wearing a large black cloak (veiled), wearing a purple cloak, and holding a bright musket.

The woman shouted, "Wherever the pirates come from, get out of the sea for me," and fired a warning shot into the sky.

Gong Changyu couldn't help but stop, and listened carefully, the voice seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't see the woman's face, so he had to take a few steps forward: "This young lady, you misunderstood, we are not pirates!" ”

The woman sneered, "That's what the pirates who came to our White Sand Island say. Some of them even disguised themselves as officials and soldiers, saying that they were collecting fishing taxes, but we still saw through them...... Your soldier has a wolf's head on his clothes, what is it that is not a pirate? ”
