Chapter Ninety-Three: A Strange City
Coming to this strange city, I didn't know what to do. Not even a place to live.
In order to do so, we must first find a place to live. I searched and found a "luxury hotel".
The dilapidated sign at the door reads "Luxury Hotel", and you come to live here not because of its "luxury", but because it is cheap.
Forty a day, with the money on my body, I can live for more than a month.
There are only two people in the "hotel", one is the hostess, who is responsible for collecting money and coming to the room. The other is the aunt who cleans and is only responsible for the hygiene in the room.
I paid a deposit of four hundred yuan before the proprietress threw me a rusty key. When I entered the room, I found that this bed was actually a simple wire bed. It was hard to sleep on, no different from sleeping on the ground. However, there is heating inside and the temperature is ok.
There is also an old-fashioned ten-inch TV in the room, and when I turn it on, I find that I can only watch a local news channel.
Fortunately, there is a toilet in the house, so you don't have to go out to the toilet at night in winter. It's just that there is squatting in the bathroom, and there is no toilet paper yet.
The pink tooth cups also have green moss on them. Luckily, there was a packaged disposable toothbrush, but there was no soap.
Although I left my hometown, I still can't forget the copper hammer that made me miss in my hometown. I don't think I'll ever meet a girl like Hammer again.
You can't spend all the time here, you have to find a job, not to mention how much money you pay to your family, but you must be able to support yourself.
But I don't know what I'm going to do. I thought I would repair home appliances, but after going out to look for a long time, I didn't find that there would be a store for repairing home appliances.
This craft is only suitable for the poor place in the small county town where we live. With the passage of time and the development of the economy, those things will eventually become obsolete.
After thinking about it, I still have to do my job. It's better to tell fortunes, I found that there are a lot of fortune tellers here.
Some are called "Feng Shui Dwellings". is also advertised, saying that it is to buy something that can attract money into the treasure, and it is also advocating that he can change the fortune of the natal year, and he can also avoid the Tai Sui in the natal year and the like.
I found a clean place and wrote "fortune telling" in two large letters on cardboard. There is also a line of small words written next to it: "fortune telling, catching ghosts, exorcism, and taking pictures".
The meaning of this is obvious, my first day at work is to find a bench to sit there and wait for someone to come.
It's a pity that the people who come and go are just pointing fingers. Some people say, why do you do this at a young age to deceive people! Some people say, "Is it okay for children?" What's more, when they passed by me, they actually threw me two yuan of change and told me to buy something to eat.
It's treating me like a begging for food. However, I didn't get angry, because since Copperhammer left, my temper has become less irritable, and I don't like to be angry with people.
Since he gave me money, I'll take it, and I can buy a cake for two dollars!
I waited for a few days, and I didn't see anyone coming.
Until that day, it was already late in the evening and I was sitting on the bench playing on my phone. A young man in a black down jacket dangled in front of my eyes. I didn't talk to him, as long as he wanted to come to the fortune telling, then everything would be fine.
The man lingered beside me for a moment, then crouched down in front of me. He asked, "Do you know fortunes?" ”
"yes, do you want to do the math?" I say.
The man smiled and said, "It's not spiritual! ”
This I am sure of the spirit, the orthodox fortune-telling channel, and does not lead to deception.
"Spirit? Don't you know if you do the math? I said with a smile.
The man said, "A young man like you, I'm afraid you don't have enough Taoism!" ”
I laughed, this profession is not based on Taoism, but on who knows more. "Don't look at my young age, I know a lot, I don't want money!" I said.
The man reported his birthday to me, and I pushed his eight characters and said, "Eight characters are good, you are a natural rich young master, your family should be very rich, right?" ”
The man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he said, "It's okay, I'm starving to death anyway!" ”
Listening to his tone, I knew that this was right.
Then I continued, "Have you encountered anything dirty lately? ”
According to his eight-character manifestation, this year is a hedging year, and there will be ghosts and things like that. And it will also break the wealth, the destruction of the wealth is a small matter, and your own life is a big matter.
The man's face was already showing surprise, and he said, "What a spirit! ”
I feel a little proud in my heart, this is okay, they are all treasures left by my ancestors. It so happened that I learned it.
The man said, "Recently, I have indeed been encountering dirty things, and I begged the master to crack it for me!" ”
Call me Master, but you don't have to. I have only learned a little bit of the skin, the yin and yang culture is broad and profound, I am just a primary school student, and the world knows a lot more than me.
Just like last time, I met a master in the pedestrian street of our county. It's just a pity that his mind was not used for good fortune telling. Just thinking, how to cheat money. Those who are not down-to-earth will eventually be punished.
The retribution he suffered, that is, he was beaten by me, and he did not lose any money. He's a liar, what reason can he sue me, besides, I know the chief of the police department, he can provoke me!
"Then tell me, what have you encountered!" I told him and lit a cigarette.
The man said, "Let's just say that when I went home that night, when I arrived at the corridor of my house, I found that I had been on the fourth floor for many floors, and no matter what, I couldn't get out of the fourth floor!" ”
I nodded and said, "This is a ghost hitting the wall, how did you solve it later!" ”
"I called my dad later and asked him to take me back to my home!" The man said.
"Did this happen to your dad when he went to pick you up?" I asked.
"Nope!" He replied.
From this incident, it can be seen that this dirty thing is specifically aimed at him. Because, as soon as his father came to pick him up, there was no such thing.
"Anything else?" I asked.
The man continued: "Yes, I was driving home in the middle of the night, it was about one o'clock, I was driving the car, and I noticed a pale hand on the steering wheel of the car, and I looked in the direction of the hand, and a pale face with blood in the eyes appeared in front of my eyes! ”
As I said this, I felt his body still tremble. It shows that he must have been scared a lot at that time.
"I was so scared that I hurriedly hit the brakes, and when the car stopped, the thing was gone!" The man continued.
Listening to these two things about him, I felt that something was not quite right. When this ghost meets people, he usually comes to suck people's true yang, but he didn't do anything about the ghosts he encountered these two times! This baffles me.
I asked again, "Do you know this filthy thing?" ”
The man shook his head.
I asked again, "Did anyone close to you die recently?" ”
The man shook his head.
In this way, it seems ruled out that this dirty thing is a familiar ghost to take revenge.
His eight-character appearance should be bankrupt recently, and I asked, "Have you spent any big money lately?" ”
The man's body shook and said, "There really is!" ”
I continued: "Then tell me about it! ”
"Because I'm always getting dirty! So, a friend around me recommended me a Taoist, this Taoist can catch ghosts, so I gave him hundreds of thousands of ghost catching fees, and this Taoist also went to catch ghosts, but I still feel that there are dirty things around me! The man said.
Now that the Taoist has already caught the ghosts, he feels that there are still dirty things around him.
I said, "Then tell me, how can there be!" ”
"I live alone, I often hear the sound of the TV in the middle of the night, I remember that I turned off the TV before going to bed, but I can turn on the TV by myself in the middle of the night, I feel that there should be a ghost at work." The man said.
Since this is the case, then I must have a horse.
I said, "Is it convenient for me to go to your house?" I'll show you what's going on at home. ”
"Yes, as long as you can catch this ghost for me, I can give you as much as you want!" The man said.
