"What's wrong?" I asked.

The middle-aged man said with some fear: "Here's the thing, I opened this restaurant, and since the location is in the city center, business is usually good." It's going to be a busy all-nighter every day. Who knew that it was just over ten days ago......"

It turned out that one night more than ten days ago, he and the waiter were busy until more than twelve o'clock in the morning, seeing that the guests were dispersed and everyone was about to get off work, when an old man in his sixties walked in, the old man walked into the restaurant, looked around, and sat in the most inconspicuous corner of the store.

At this time, he saw that it was so late and was about to close the door, and the old man sat there and had no intention of ordering, so he came over to the old man and said, "Old man, the door is closing today, you can come back tomorrow to eat." ”

The old man stubbornly said: "No, I can only eat now, I will leave after eating a bowl of noodles!" ”

As soon as he heard that the old man only ate bowls of noodles and didn't make money, it was early in the morning, and he had to go to buy vegetables before dawn, so he said a little angrily: "We are going to close here, you want to eat noodles and come back tomorrow." Let's go, old man. ”

But the old man didn't have any intention of leaving, and still muttered expressionlessly, "I'll just eat a bowl of noodles." ”

He was a little angry, and said angrily: "I don't have noodles here, you can go to someone else's house to eat." ”

"I'll eat noodles here, I'll give you more money, see it's all yours." As he spoke, the old man took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to him.

When he saw so much money, he said happily: "In this case, I will let the back kitchen make noodles for you, old man, you wait a moment." ”

After speaking, I went to supervise the kitchen to make noodles.

After the kitchen finished making noodles, he saw that everyone was tired, so he asked the chef and waiter to get off work first, sit at the counter by himself, and wait for the old man to finish eating the noodles, and then he could close the door and go home to sleep.

The old man sat in the corner, eating unhurriedly, and he looked at the clock on the wall, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

The old man still bowed his head and ate unhurriedly, because he had been exhausted from a busy day, and unconsciously lay on the table and fell asleep.

Falling asleep, he suddenly felt as if his body was being swept into a huge whirlpool, suddenly, he played a clever wit, was awakened by this sudden convulsions of his body, suddenly looked up, and saw a black shadow standing in front of his eyes, he was startled by this vague thing, "ah" exclaimed, piercing the already quiet night.

If you look closely, the shadow is actually a wrinkled head. This face is none other than the old man who eats noodles. The old man looked at his frightened and somewhat distorted expression, but did not react, nor was he startled by his exclamation.

"Old man, are you done eating?" He touched his chest and said as he stabilized his frightened mood.

"After eating, your noodles are so delicious, I'll come back tomorrow." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Watching the old man leave, the boss habitually glanced at the clock.

"What? It's already past two o'clock? This old man ate noodles, and ate more than a point! I can't sleep long when I go home this time. He thought as he packed the cash box at the bar, and he had to take all the money home, it wasn't safe to keep it in the store.

As he packed up, he suddenly found that there was a pile of dark coins in the cash box.

"This, who put this in?" He couldn't help but exclaim.

He picked up all the customers' receipts, counted them carefully, checked them with the money in the cash box, and found that there was a hundred yuan missing in the cash box, and this 100 yuan was the money that the old man used to eat noodles.

"Is that the old man?" Thinking to himself, he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his neck, his brain was clouded, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he locked them up and ran back home.

When I got home, I locked the door and hid in the bed for half the night, until dawn.

He told his wife about the night, and she said, "Are you really a ghost?" Didn't the old man say that he would come back tonight, otherwise, find a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts?! ”

On the same day, he came to the front of the temple and found a Taoist priest, who claimed to be "the immortal master is alive, walking yin and yang", and when he arrived at the store, he had a period of ritual practices and pasted charms on the windows and doors.

Originally, the business was very good during the day, the Taoist priest did it, many guests felt a little unlucky, and left, a few did not go, most of them were also good things to see the lively, ordered a bottle of wine and asked for a plate of peanuts to eat there for a day, and watched the day of the lively Lord.

Until late at night, the few guests were gone, and it was not until twelve o'clock in the night that the old man pushed the door in again, and did it in the most inconspicuous corner, looking at the charm on the door and the window, without the slightest fear.

When the Taoist priest saw it, he picked up the peachwood sword and slashed at the old man, but the old man stretched out his right hand and actually used his index finger and middle finger to clamp the peachwood sword in the Taoist priest's hand. With a twist of his right hand, he only heard a "click", and the peachwood sword was broken into two, and the Taoist priest hurriedly took out a stack of charms and pasted them on the old man's body, without any reaction.

The old man turned his head and glared at the Taoist priest viciously, his eyes glowing with a faint green light, like a yin fire.

Suddenly, the Taoist priest ran away in fright, and the Taoist priest's magic weapons and other items were thrown to the ground, and he didn't have time to pick them up.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but exclaim: "This ghost actually has this ability?!" ”

"Fart, I'm afraid that Taoist priest is fake, if it's true, how can it be that you can't hurt that ghost with so many magic weapons!" Zhang Fatzi said drunkly.

"Well, I don't know, after the Taoist priest failed to exorcise the ghost, the ghost didn't embarrass me, but warned me that if I found a Taoist priest to deal with him again, he would be polite. I was scared, so I didn't dare to look for it again, and since then, the ghost has only come here to eat bowls of noodles every midnight after all my guests here have gone, and every time he gives me money, I can't do without, but after he left, the money has become a dark coin, I don't dare to throw it, I don't dare to burn it. ”

The shopkeeper paused and said, "Now that many old customers have heard about this, they don't dare to come to my store to eat, for fear of getting bad luck, and if this continues, I can only really close the door here." ”

"Boss, don't shoot, leave the matter of exorcism to Ling Fei, it will be done!" Fat Zhang said in a daze.

"Don't talk nonsense, where will I catch ghosts!" I said.

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly said, "If you can help me drive away this ghost, I will thank you very much." How much do you charge here? ”

I just wanted to say that it was okay to help, I would give it a try, but the money was gone. But Zhang Fat stretched out his big hand, stopped me and said, "Twenty thousand!" ”

"Huh?" The boss said in surprise.

Seeing this, Zhang Fatzi hurriedly took back his words and said: "Of course, 20,000 yuan is the price for others to exorcise ghosts, and when I see that your boss is good, I will charge you 2,000!" ”

"Two thousand is not a lot," the boss lowered his head and muttered, "Okay, but you have to make sure that it can be done, otherwise, not only will you not get the money, but if the old ghost gets angry with me and something happens, you will have to be responsible!" ”

When Zhang Fatzi heard this, he said: "Just do it, where did you get so much nonsense." The brother in front of him is an expert in ghost hunting, and he can also smash his own signboard. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was much more relieved, and said with a smile: "Then when will you start?" ”
