Brother Cheng looked at Zhang Ziyu's surprised expression, laughed, and turned to Ah Yao and said, "Ah Yao, didn't you let you rest?" How did you come back so soon. ”

"I'm back when I hear it's so lively." Ah Yao turned around Zhang Ziyu, smiling and staring at his face carefully, "This little brother, I only revealed my true body if you didn't believe our shopkeeper's words~ After all, this is very laborious!" ”

"This young lady, please don't stare at me like this, I'm a little panicked." Zhang Ziyu shuddered, pulled up the quilt again, wrapped his whole body, only exposed a head, looked at Brother Cheng again, and said, "Hey, big brother, let this young lady go back, I believe what you said, can't I?" ”

"A-Yao, don't make trouble." Brother Cheng looked at Zhang Ziyu, who was frightened, and smiled, he stretched out his hand, beckoned A-Yao to his side, turned his head and said to her, "If it's okay, go and rest." ”

"Okay, Brother Cheng." Ah Yao waved her hand at the two of them, gradually disappeared, and a playful laugh came from the air, "I'm really gone this time, little brother, don't think about me." ”

Seeing that Ayao disappeared, Zhang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Brother Cheng in front of him, he paused, "Don't worry, I'll take it slowly, I can't digest it." With that, he sat down on the bed and began to ponder these things, after all, these things that he had encountered since last night were not within his grasp.

After a while, Zhang Ziyu seemed to understand it, and he gradually accepted these things in front of him that seemed beyond common sense, "Then, let's get to know each other first, my name is Zhang Ziyu, brother's surname?" With that, Zhang Ziyu stretched out his hand and showed favor to Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng also stretched out his hand, smiled slightly and said, "My name is Su Zicheng, you can call me the shopkeeper, you can also call me Brother Cheng, Zicheng can do it." ”

"So I'm okay now? But those who know me ......" Zhang Ziyu suddenly fell silent in the middle of his words, thinking that his friends would never have him in their memories again, and suddenly felt very lonely.

"It's all my fault, I didn't pay attention last night, and you were injured, but I will definitely take care of you in the future. The trading house has been around for hundreds of years, and in order to make the chosen possessed person work in peace and not cause trouble to his family or friends, the book will erase all traces of the user's presence in the human world, and eliminate everything that does not belong to the possessed spirit itself. Brother Cheng looked at Zhang Ziyu and felt very guilty, but he couldn't say anything comforting for a while, and the air was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Brother Cheng paused, and then said: "You will work with us in the future, and some specific matters, Ah Qiu will talk to you carefully, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything." ”

"Then I, will I still be born, old, sick and die?" Zhang Ziyu asked.

"Ordinary people can't kill you, so theoretically you can live forever, but the spirit can kill you." Brother Cheng explained.

"What about you...... How long have you lived? ”

Hearing Zhang Ziyu ask, Brother Cheng was stunned for a moment, "I seem to have lived for a long time, I don't remember it anymore." He scratched his head and chuckled.

"Looks like you're about my age."

"Well, because Mr. said that I was about my current age when I died, and I was rescued by him, and I have remained in this form since then."

"So, can I stay young forever? Haha" Zhang Ziyu held his face in his hands and laughed stupidly, "With a new job, it is not all bad to be able to stay young forever." ”

"What about you...... Family ......" Brother Cheng wanted to speak and stopped.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry, it's sad, it's a little, but it's okay." Zhang Ziyu put down his hands, paused, and then said, "My family...... I'm alone, and I don't have many friends, so it's so! So be it! ”

"Is there another thing I don't quite understand?" Zhang Ziyu suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Brother Cheng and asked.

"What?"

"Yesterday's spirit, he could have passed through my body, but why did he say to me, 'Let me dodge', and just run away won't attract my attention?"

"I really don't understand that. You'll have to ask him. ”

"How's your chatter?" At this time, Ah Qiu's voice came from outside the door, and I saw him walking in with a tray with three dishes and two bowls of rice on the tray.

"Come and eat." Ah Qiu walked to the desk, looked at the table full of books and small objects in front of him, and then looked at the full bookshelves, and frowned. "Shopkeeper, you don't have a place to put your books."

Ah Qiu stood in place, a layer of blue light appeared on his hands, and the blue light gradually covered the entire tray, and Ah Qiu let go of the tray and floated in the air. Then, he stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the books and small objects on the table, only to see them disappear one by one with a "bang".

"You're so good!" Zhang Ziyu looked at Ah Qiu, as if he had thought of something, smiled evilly, and turned his head to look at Brother Cheng, "This, can I do it too?" ”

"No, you're human, and he's different." Brother Cheng shook his head, turned his head to Ah Qiu and said, "Let Xiao Ben put all my books together, I will read them later, don't classify them first." ”

"Got it, shopkeeper, I'll tell him." With that, Ah Qiu snapped his fingers, and a light blue light flew out from his fingertips, and flew out through the door.

Ah Qiu tidied up the table, took out the food from the tray and placed it on the table, and beckoned the two of them to come over for dinner.

"Let's go." Brother Cheng patted Zhang Ziyu on the shoulder, helped him up again, and the two walked to the table.

Zhang Ziyu was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and when he saw the dish in front of him, he just sat down and picked up the bowl and devoured it, "This dish tastes really good!" Zhang Ziyu praised while eating.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Just call me Aqiu, Brother Yu." Hearing someone praise him, Ah Qiu smiled, pulled over a stool and sat next to Zhang Ziyu. "Brother, in the future, the shopkeeper will be entrusted to you to take care of, and I will cook for you every day."

"Huh? Do I take care of him? He looks pretty good, and he still uses me. Zhang Ziyu glanced at Brother Cheng and said suspiciously.

"Brother Yu, you don't know, the shopkeeper's kung fu is very poor." Ah Qiu approached Zhang Ziyu's ear, glanced at Brother Cheng with squinted eyes, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "If no one protects him outside, he will be beaten down in minutes." ”

"Ah Qiu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Brother Cheng picked up the pen on the table and threw it at Ah Qiu, but Ah Qiu dodged it at once, "Shopkeeper, don't throw it away, otherwise you will have to pick it up yourself in a while." Ah Qiu looked disgusted.

"Let's go! So many words. Brother Cheng picked up another pen and was about to throw it over, "Another one, try?" ”

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'll collect the bowl in a while, and you guys will eat slowly." Ah Qiu got up and stuck out his tongue, jumped up and left the room.

Brother Cheng looked at Ah Qiu's back and shook his head with a smile, "This guy." He turned his head and pushed the dishes in front of him to Zhang Ziyu, "You eat first, I'm full, now I'll tell you what spirit is." ”

"Well, you say, I'll listen." Zhang Ziyu took two bites of rice and continued while eating.

"Everything in the world is made up of spirits, they can be people, animals, plants, stones, water, etc., etc., they may have different appearances, but the essence is the same, just like wood is carved into something else, and its spirit also exists. Can any of this be understood? Brother Cheng paused and asked.

"Well, you go on."

"Including the spirit after death; animal skeletons, fur; Books, wood carvings, and many other things made of plants, no matter how their appearance changes, their spirits are still there. Brother Cheng said, while stretching out his hands and gesturing in the air: "My left hand is equivalent to the spirit of all things except humans, and your right hand is regarded as the spirit of human beings, and the spirit is composed of spirit particles, and over time, these spirit particles may merge with each other like this." ”

Brother Cheng clasped his hands together, "For example, the spirits of animals and plants have been with people for a long time, either the spirits of animals and plants are absorbed by people, or the spirits of people are absorbed by animals and plants, it depends on who is strong and who is weak." ”

"Then if animals and plants are fused with human spirits, can they speak? What kind of spirit is A-Yao? ”

"If it is a spirit that has more contact with humans, it is possible for them to speak, and some spirits that have less contact with humans they can't speak, A-Yao was a human before her death, and her spirit after death was attached to a jade bracelet that she liked most in her life, fused with the spirit of the jade bracelet, and then the jade bracelet was sent to us, she didn't want to leave so she stayed here and helped me do something."

"What does this shop do?" Zhang Ziyu remembered what he had said before, and laughed, "I, I don't say that you are a god woman, this time ask seriously." ”

Brother Cheng smiled slightly and continued: "We are mainly engaged in two aspects of trading here, with people: collecting all things that have not yet died from people, and finding a suitable place for them to live again. With Spirits: Help various spirits fulfill their wishes. ”

"Sounds interesting." Zhang Ziyu seemed to be interested, "Then what am I mainly doing?" ”

"You don't have to do anything."

"Huh?" Zhang Ziyu looked puzzled.

"They're going to come to you."

"Who are they?"

Brother Cheng picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water, and said lightly: "Wait, it's fine." ”
