Chapter 23: The Midnight Buyer

One night more than two weeks ago, their small supermarket closed as usual. At twelve o'clock in the evening, Li Quanyou had just packed up his things and planned to go back to the house to sleep after counting the money.

As soon as I opened the money box, there was a knock on the door.

In the past, there was a drunkard who knocked on the door in the middle of the night to buy alcohol, so Li Quanyou didn't pay much attention to it, shouted "wait a minute", and opened the small vending door on the window.

According to the usual temperament of those drunkards, as soon as the window opened, the red face spewing alcohol squeezed in and shouted, but that day the window was quiet, and no one even asked a few questions.

Li Quanyou thought it was a boring prank, and just turned off the light outside the small window and was about to close the window, but suddenly a pale hand reached out of the window, still holding a hundred yuan in his hand.

"I'm rubbing, I'm scared to death! Who are you? Isn't it funny! ”

Li Quanyou was taken aback by this hand, and scolded and wanted to turn on the light to see who it was. Outside the window, a soft female voice that drips water floated: "Big brother, don't turn on the light, my eyes are not good and afraid of light, so I hid next to me and didn't make a sound just now." ”

Where had Li Quanyou heard such a beautiful woman's voice before, when his hand was so soft that he couldn't pull the lamp rope at all, and his voice was eight degrees gentle: "What do you want to buy, girl?" ”

"A bag of biscuits, a bottle of milk, thank you."

Li Quanyou responded, quickly took the things and handed them over, and said while looking down for money: "It's so late, aren't you afraid of a girl's family?" Do you need to wait for me to give you a ride? ”

Li Quanyou saw that the girl didn't reply, and thought that the other party was embarrassed, so he smiled and handed the money he was looking for to the window, but found that there was no one outside the window for a long time.

Originally, he was afraid that the woman would come back and ask for money, but Li Quanyou waited in the store for more than an hour, but he was so sleepy that he went back to sleep without even counting the money.

Who knew that Zhengxiang, who slept by himself the next morning, was woken up by a slap from his daughter-in-law, pulled his ears to the money box, and asked him why he put paper ashes in the money box.

Li Quanyou looked at the paper ash on the top of the RMB in the box and was a little confused, but he didn't understand the origin of the paper ash even if he wanted to break his head.

The daughter-in-law asked him who he had been here since he left last night, and the first thing that came to Li Quanyou's mind was actually the woman with a voice like a fairy last night.

Thinking of the woman's voice, Li Quanyou's bones were crispy again. Thinking of yesterday the woman made a fuss and had a spring dream in the middle of the night, she didn't dare to admit it to her wife, so she had to prevaricate with other people's pranks, and she only suffered a few times.

On the evening of the next day, after Li Quanyou saw off a few villagers who had come to knock his teeth, he found that it was already past eleven o'clock at night. By the time I was packing up and counting the money, the clock was just past twelve o'clock.

At this moment, the small window of the sale was knocked on the wall again, Li Quanyou was overjoyed, and sure enough, he heard the soft words outside the window again: "Big brother, can you sell me a bag of biscuits and a bottle of milk again?" ”

Li Quanyou was so excited that his hands trembled a little, and he hurriedly opened the window and said, "Yes, yes!" Big sister, wait a minute. ”

In a hurry, he brought something, and Li Quanyou saw that the white and crystal clear hand reached into the house with a big ticket of 100 yuan.

I just wanted to find her after taking the money, but I suddenly remembered yesterday's incident, so I hurriedly handed back the hundred, and shouted out the window: "I said big sister, I haven't found you for yesterday's money......"

But he stretched out his hand for a long time and didn't see anyone come to pick it up, and looked out of the window, but he only saw the empty streets and the cold moonlight.

Li Quanyou suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart at this time, retracted his head, threw the money into the drawer and went back to sleep.

The next morning, the daughter-in-law plucked his ears again, and when he saw the ashes in the drawer, his heart began to panic, but in order to verify his suspicion, he waited again until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Seeing that the hands of the clock had passed past twelve, the supermarket window was knocked again.

Li Quanyou swallowed his saliva, opened the small window, and his slender hand once again pinched a hundred-yuan bill and reached into the house to buy biscuits and milk with him.

When handing over something this time, Li Quanyou accidentally touched the fingertips of the bare hand, and a bone-piercing chill came from the fingertips, so frightened that he almost dropped everything on the ground.

trembling so much that he handed over his things and took back the money, he couldn't even think of looking for money, so he closed the window and hurriedly went back to sleep.

It was another morning, Li Quanyou got up early, and opened the drawer in a hurry, but he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, only to see that the woman's 100 yuan bill he deliberately put alone had long disappeared, and only a handful of paper ashes replaced it.

This time, Li Quanyou didn't dare to hide it anymore, and tremblingly confessed to his daughter-in-law what happened.

But as soon as his daughter-in-law heard him hear the voice of the woman, she was fascinated, and she didn't believe his words at all, so she stubbornly stayed in the store, planning to meet the woman for a while.

It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Li Quanyou's daughter-in-law Wu Li was sitting in the store holding her own Buddha statue and dozing off, but she was so startled by a few "knocks" on the window that she almost fell to the ground.

She steadied herself, retreated from the window and asked angrily, "Who!" What to buy? ”

After a few seconds of silence outside the window, a woman entered the room with a hundred-dollar bill in her slender hand.

"A bag of biscuits, a bottle of milk, thank you."

When Wu Li heard this voice, it was indeed as soft and soft as Li Quanyou said, although it was a little erratic, it was indeed much better than her own man-like voice.

Comparing his mallet-like fingers with the tender jade hands of others, he instantly buttoned the woman outside the window with the hat of seducing his own man, and a nameless fire rushed up, and his mouth was unforgiving.

"I don't sleep well in the middle of the night, and I come to buy milk biscuits every day! At first glance, it's a sassy fox who seduces other people's men! My mother told you that you will come to my house less to buy things in the future! The old lady doesn't sell you! ”

The woman outside the window was silent for a few seconds, and then said faintly: "I'm sorry eldest sister, I bought it for my child." Please, sell it to me, or my child will starve today. ”

Hearing that the other party had a child, Wu Li's anger disappeared, and she dragged the hundred-yuan bill, turned around and took something into the woman's hand, and said impatiently: "Go, go, take the things and leave quickly!" Next time, I want to buy it early, don't come out in the middle of the night to hook up with people! ”

As he spoke, he closed the window and threw the money into the drawer.

But the next second, she suddenly remembered that her husband had said that the coin that turned into paper ash came from this woman, so she took out the note again and looked at it carefully under the lamp several times, and even the money detector did not see anything unusual.

In order to verify her husband's words, she put the note in a small box and hid it in a place that only she knew before going back to sleep.

But when she opened the box carefully after dawn, she looked at the handful of paper ashes lying at the bottom of the box, and her eyes rolled and she fainted.

At this moment, the family was so frightened that they invited all kinds of Buddha statues from the temple to set up a whole room, but at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the sales window would still ring again.

And if they don't keep quiet, the knocking on the window will not stop, and it seems to knock on their brains one by one, and it is useless to plug their ears, so they can only obediently sell her the milk carton biscuits, and then accept the hundred-dollar bill that will turn into paper ash in the morning.

After being tortured for more than a week, Li Quanyou drove his son's family of three to live in his in-laws' house, and he began to secretly inquire about looking for a capable person who could subdue demons and drive away ghosts. It was easy to hear Zhang Fanyang's name from other people's mouths, so I thought of coming here to ask him for help.

But when I got here, I saw that Zhang Fanyang didn't have the slightest appearance of a "heavenly master", he was moving bricks and laying bricks every day, but he looked like a real builder.

Therefore, Li Quanyou, who was afraid that he was looking for the wrong person, hesitated outside the courtyard for four or five days, until the main owner couldn't help but come to him.

"Has that woman been to your house again these days?"

"Go, go, go every day! Rain or shine! I've been with my wife for the past few days, she sells goods during the day, and I go back to sell goods at night, and when the woman leaves, I'll catch an early car in the morning to find you......"

Zhang Fanyang rubbed his temples when he heard this, and was speechless for a while, saying that this uncle's heart is really big enough, it seems that he is still not frightened.
