"Liu Shou, come down for a moment" At about eleven forty o'clock, the master walked to the bedroom on the second floor and shouted to me, who was cultivating Taoist true qi, I opened my eyes, jumped from the bed to the ground, put on my shoes, and followed the master downstairs.

"Master, do you have anything to do with me?" I went downstairs and asked the Master suspiciously.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, and you will go to the crossroads in a moment to hand out a paper to your master," the master said to me casually.

In the northeast, Chinese New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock to send paper, hair paper is to go to the family ancestral hall to burn paper, burn incense, light wax to honor the ancestors of the family, the New Year is not only the people in the yang world, the ghosts of the underworld also have to celebrate the New Year, in our city, when the paper is issued, it is also necessary to release whips and flowers, and the degree of excitement is not inferior to that of the New Year.

"Liu Shou, you go to the paper shop to buy two bundles of paper, a bundle of incense, and two white candles, and burn them to your ancestor at the crossroads, this is a hundred yuan" The master took out a hundred from the drawer and handed it to me, we have an ancestral hall here to worship the ancestors, and they all burn paper, incense, and candles in the ancestral hall at home.

"Master, I have money in my pocket, I don't need you," I replied to Master with a smile.

"It's okay, you can also buy some paper for your ancestors, and burn it together by the way," Master muttered to me.

"I know Master, I'm going to buy it," I said to Master and walked out of the hall.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the shops in our No. 88 alley were not closed except for the coffin shop, and there was an endless stream of people who drove to buy things at night, and I found that it was much easier to earn money from the dead than from the living, and the people who came to our alley 88 to buy things had not seen a few bargains.

I first went to the candle shop to buy four white candles, and then I walked to the paper shop, the dwarf owner of the paper shop stood at the door with a smile to greet the guests who came to buy things, the girl named Xiaoyu was sitting at the front desk cashier, and there was a young man in the room who was busy moving paper money, the young man was seventeen or eighteen years old, very white, wearing a clean black robe, wearing a short vest with the word longevity on his upper body, and a black melon skin hat on his head, his dress was a bit Qing Dynasty style, I didn't find a trace of anger in this young man, nor did I find a trace of death, I guess he was also a paper man, and I thought to myself that the dwarf owner of this shop should not be a simple person.

"Happy New Year, boss," I walked to the door of the paper shop, arched my hand and asked the owner of the paper shop.

"Happy New Year, young man" After the owner of the paper shop said this, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Boss, what are you ......?" I asked, looking at the shopkeeper with a puzzled expression.

"This is a red envelope for you, not much money, the New Year is a picture of joy" After the owner of the paper shop said this, he stuffed the red envelope in his hand into my hand.

"Thank you then," I smiled and thanked the owner of the paper shop.

"You're polite, young man," said the owner of the paper shop with a smile on his face.

"Boss, I want four bundles of paper and two bundles of incense," I said, pointing to the paper money on the ground and saying to the owner of the paper shop.

"Paper money will charge you ten yuan a bundle, incense doesn't need money, you just give me forty," the owner of the paper shop said to me heartily.

"Okay," I replied to the shopkeeper, took a hundred dollars from his pocket, threw it at the counter, took four bundles of paper money and two bundles of incense, and walked out.

"Little brother, looking for your money," Xiaoyu shouted at me.

"No need to look for it" I turned around and said to Xiaoyu with a smile, and then I came to the crossroads with paper money and incense, and the owner of the paper shop wrapped me a red envelope of two hundred yuan, which I didn't expect, people who usually do business so much will be so generous.

I divided the paper money, incense and candles in my hand into two parts, one burned to my grandmother, and the other burned to my ancestors.

When I burned the paper money halfway, I suddenly felt as if there was a person standing behind me, and I was a little afraid to look back. As the man behind me slowly bent down to get closer to me, I rolled forward on the spot. When I looked back behind me, I didn't see anything, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and I was a little scared.

I stood there and squinted around, but finally I didn't notice anything, and then I went back to where I was and crouched down to continue burning the paper, and I had an extra demon slaying charm in my left hand.

A gust of cold wind blew from behind me, and the cold wind was mixed with a faint smell, and the previous feeling reappeared, and I threw the demon slaying charm in my left hand behind me without looking back.

"Ahh

"Girl, girl," I shouted to the woman in the white cotton suit, who was lying motionless on the ground, as if she had fainted.

All the paper-burning people at the surrounding crossroads looked at us, and I felt that I was doing something a little too recklessly, and I couldn't tell whether the girl lying on the ground was a human, a demon or a ghost, so I threw it over with a spell.

"Girl, are you alright?" I asked as I walked slowly to the woman's side, and the woman was still lying on the ground motionless, so I walked up to the woman, crouched down and stretched out two hands to help the woman up.

"Liu Shou, let go," Master shouted at me from the mouth of Hutong No. 88, and when I was about to let go of my hand, it was too late, the woman opened her green eyes and smiled at me, then stretched out her right hand and slapped it on the left side of my chest.

"Poof" I first spurted a mouthful of blood, and then my body flew backwards more than ten meters away, Master saw this scene and ran towards me with seven star steps, when Master ran to me, the woman in the white cotton robe had already disappeared without a trace.

"Unlucky," I said as soon as I said these two words, and I completely fainted.

When I woke up from the coma, it was already past nine o'clock the next morning, and I opened my eyes to see Master, Little Aunt and Uncle He standing in front of my bed, looking at me with worried expressions.

"Nephew, how are you feeling?" asked me with a concerned face.

"It's okay, it's just that my chest hurts a little bit" I rubbed my chest and smiled at the little aunt, in fact, my chest hurts so badly, I feel pain when I breathe now, I didn't tell the truth to the little aunt because I was afraid that they would worry about me.

"You kid can be alive thanks to He Laosi, yesterday when the demon slapped your palm on the chest, it was blocked by the gossip mirror in your jacket pocket, if it wasn't for that gossip mirror to resist, you kid is probably no longer alive" Master said to me with his hands behind his back.

"Uncle He, thank you so much," I looked at Uncle He and thanked him with a smile.

"Senior nephew, you don't need to thank me, you are a brat, you are blessed with a great life," Uncle He smiled faintly at me.

"Master, you said that the woman in the white cotton dress last night was a demon, so what kind of demon is she?" I got up from the bed holding my chest and asked my master.

"It's supposed to be a fox demon," Master replied to me.

"I haven't provoked any fox demons recently, why did she attack me?" I continued to ask the Master with a puzzled expression.

"Don't forget, the two of us killed a fox demon together before," Master said to me, frowning.

"You mean to say that this fox demon has come to us for revenge?" I asked Master with a nervous expression.

"That's right, this she-fox demon is here to take revenge on us," Master said to me, nodding his head at me.

"Master, when the two of us got rid of that fox demon, it shouldn't have been there, and after we got rid of that fox demon, we left, how did it know that it was the fox demon that we both got rid of? How did it find this?" I asked Master, still puzzled.
