Chapter 32: A Large Bowl with Meat
"Don't come here!" The thief waved his dagger as he stepped back.
But anyway, as long as he takes a step, we will follow suit.
For a while, the three of us were at a stalemate in the alley.
The thief obviously didn't expect us to be so persistent, he began to show anxiety, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Xiaocai, this dog's day, I haven't been going back for a long time." β
Seeing that it was not a solution to continue like this, I opened my mouth and said, "In this way, you return the cigarette holder in the bag to us, and we don't want anything else." β
The thief looked at me warily, "When I'm a fool, don't talk nonsense, get out!" β
I poked Xiao Zhang quietly, "Hey, don't you know how to draw talismans out of thin air, you can use them now." β
Xiao Zhang tilted his head slightly towards me speechlessly, and whispered: "You really think I'm hanging, you also need to have rune paper as an introduction to draw talismans out of thin air, besides, this guy on the other side is a human and not a ghost, if he is a ghost, I have a way." β
A flash of inspiration crossed my mind: he wasn't a ghost...... But we can get the ghost to help.
Just do it, I used the spirit trick on the spot, and the movement under my feet is called a flowing water, and I completed this spell in one go.
The thief on the other side was so stunned by me that he forgot the knife swing in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Zhang looked at me puzzled.
"I'm summoning Yang Gang, can't you see it?" I said with a strange look on my face.
"It's not that I'm going to pour cold water on you, but, it seems like it's daytime......" Xiao Zhang looked at me with hopeless eyes.
"Oh, too." Looking at each other, I scratched my ears in embarrassment.
There was a thud, as if something metal had fallen to the ground.
"Hey, don't run!" Xiao Zhang ignored me and rushed directly past me.
Damn, this turtle slipped away while we weren't looking, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
By the time we chased after us, half of the figure was nowhere to be found, and there were residential areas all around, and the alleys between the houses were in all directions, and the ghost knew which direction the grandson had run away. We tried to find a few alleyways, but we found nothing.
Xiao Zhang shrugged his shoulders at me helplessly, and said calmly: "Now let's sit and wait for the little hen to come to the door." β
I opened my mouth in remorse, and finally there was nothing to say, if it wasn't for my brain pumping just now, how could I let that turtle grandson take advantage of the loophole.
Without saying a word, we returned along the road, and soon came to the alley at the beginning, Xiao Zhang bent down and picked up the knife that the thief had dropped on the ground, and then took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, looking thoughtful.
"Maybe we still have a chance." Xiao Zhang suddenly said without a beginning or an end.
"Call the police?" I nodded in agreement, I have trouble finding the police.
"I didn't have any cash or bank cards in my handbag, so the police couldn't do it." Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "We can use this knife to find someone, it's just ......"
"Just what?" As soon as I heard it, I was interested.
"It's just that I've never used this spell before, so I don't know if it works." Xiao Zhang's hands were crossed.
"Now I can only use dead horses as live horse doctors, so let's try it." I said.
"Okay, then we'll start tonight, but first we have to buy some good guys to use." Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Are there any incense and candle shops around here?" β
I thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen it in this neighborhood, I might have to go back, there is a wreath shop in the village next door to my house, and I should be able to buy what you need there." β
So we rode a small electric donkey to the next village, and as soon as we arrived at the entrance of Wang's village, we saw the wreath shop on the roadside at a glance.
The wreath shop is a one-story house made of red bricks, with asbestos tiles on the roof, and the faΓ§ade looks a little crowded, and there are three or four wreaths placed outside.
We parked the car at the intersection and walked in.
"Young man, are you here to buy incense or candles?" An old man wearing square old-fashioned glasses got up from a wicker chair, put down the newspaper in his hand, and stepped forward to introduce: "Our incense is all handmade incense, coarse and not scattered, much better than machine-made incense." If you have candles, there are red wax and white wax, big wax and small wax, do you want to sign wax or thread wax? β
"Uncle, we don't want incense or candles." I replied briefly.
"Hey, what are you going to buy? As long as it's used by yin people, I have it in this store. The old man raised his glasses and said.
"Uncle, we want to buy a box of cinnabar, a roll of white thread, and a knife of money paper, do you have them here?" Xiao Zhang stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, you wait." The old man's legs and feet looked a little inflexible, and he limped into the inner room.
Taking advantage of this free time, I began to look at the shop: two of the four walls were placed with simple and rough wooden shelves, and on one side were ingots, incense candles, firecrackers, and paper money; On the other side are urns, both wooden and ceramic, stacked neatly like a hill. It is no wonder that in recent years, the cremation system has been introduced, so it is rare to see large coffins in wreath shops now.
After a while, the old man walked out with a red plastic bag, and he opened the plastic bag to show us, "Cinnabar, white thread and money paper are all packed for you, do you want to buy something more?" β
Xiao Zhang glanced at the plastic bag twice and said, "It's okay, we won't buy anything else." β
I took out my wallet, looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, how much is it?" β
"Sixty-six dollars." The old man said.
After paying, we walked out with our things, looked down at our phones, and it was already past four o'clock.
Xiao Zhang and I didn't go home, but rushed directly to the vicinity of the station, and worked hard for a long time, when our stomachs were already croaking with hunger. Found a mutton noy restaurant in the corner, we are going to eat something to the bottom first, there is still a tough battle to fight tonight.
I shouted into the window, "Boss, have a bowl of mutton powder, a big bowl." β
"Okay, let's sit down for a while." The middle-aged man in the window glanced at me, then turned around and shouted into the kitchen, "A big bowl of mutton noodles." β
"What do you want?" I turned around and asked Xiao Zhang.
"It's the same as you, butβadd meat and blood, and that's it, oh, and a braised egg." Xiao Zhangqi sat down calmly.
"Big sister...... Oh no, Goddess, you have such an appetite! "It's incredible, I gave Xiao Zhang a thumbs up.
"Boss, let's have another big bowl, add meat, miscellaneous blood, and add a braised egg." I shouted at the window again.
"Okay, please wait." The boss replied in a loud voice.
Soon a steaming bowl was served, and the combination of the main and auxiliary ingredients made my appetite increase and my index finger moved: the rich pork bone broth was soaked in half a bowl of snow-white rice noodles, topped with three or four slices of evenly fattened mutton, and a spoonful of black secret sauce, then sprinkled with green and white chives, then a few fragrant mints, and finally scooped a spoonful of minted millet and garlic foam. This smells,! It's a must-have in the world!
