Chapter 33: Finding Objects in the Ghost Market
Two days have passed since that night, and Jian Jue has not woken up, and Li Zhonglou suspects that Jian Jue's spirit has been forced away by the female demon.
Qin Zitao's spirits improved, he licked his lips, took a big banana to eat, and said without swallowing a mouthful: "Brother Li, don't worry about Jian Decision... I did a hiring assignment with Jane, and he was just like that, fighting. Do you say that his level is really high? No, it's that he is responsible, and the customers who return are satisfied. I think he's sick and paranoid, as if he's here specifically to save people. But can he be a savior? He usually says that he can't control what others do, but when he really sees others do it, he can't bear it. ”
Li Zhonglou hooked his back, crossed his hands on his knees, and was very tired. He raised his head and said to himself: "A gentleman is also a beast, he can't bear to see his death when he sees his life, and he can't bear to eat his flesh when he hears his voice. ”
Qin Zitao was stunned when he said this, so he had to finish eating the banana first and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"I heard you say that Jian Jue always can't bear to see others in distress, so I remembered this sentence."
"This sentence praises Jian Decision? We don't seem to have this sentence in our textbooks. Qin Zitao was really hungry, picked up the apple again, and wanted to go down with a big "click", sweet and crisp, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
“... It's not a compliment... Are you hungry? Going to eat? Li Zhonglou straightened up.
Qin Zitao was happy when he heard it, "I feel uncomfortable when I smell the disinfectant water, and I want to eat some junk food." Compared with Li Zhonglou, he is more like a character who has just experienced an exciting adventure and won, only relaxed, without a trace of heaviness.
It may be that he is young and has no chance to worry and think about Li Zhonglou and Boss Li. When Li Zhonglou looked at Qin Zitao's restless walking, he would also smile quietly, at least one person he was relieved of.
Because he used to work on the dark web, he can understand the professionalism of ghost detectives, don't look at the rich pay, he is indeed fighting for money with his life.
They ate at the bottom of the hospital building, Qin Zitao ate a large portion of fried rice with fish-flavored shredded pork, and after eating, he went to settle the account first, saying that he was grateful for Brother Li's generosity and paid the hospital fee in advance.
"But you can deduct that from your employment fee." Qin Zitao patted his chest, "We do things one yard at a time." ”
"Count me in." Li Zhonglou said, "Make a friend." ”
When they returned to the hospital, they walked into Jian Jie's hospital room, only to see another person. Li Zhonglou didn't know him, Qin Zitao had an amazing memory, and he had an impression when he saw him, "Oh, Daxian, how did you find it?" ”
It turned out to be Zhang Daxian who I saw at Xiao Liu's house last time, Zhang Daxian heard others call him like this, his face was full of unhappiness, and when he opened his mouth, it turned out to be Yunnan Mandarin: "Don't call it that, who dares to really call yourself a great immortal, at most half an immortal." I am called a name that people who don't understand and shout casually. ”
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Zhang, how did you find the room?" Qin Zitao said strangely.
"Ask the nurse, you only sent it the night before yesterday, why is it difficult to find only one hospital in town?" Zhang Daxian himself "snorted" first, revealing a smug smile, "It's not me coming, you don't know how to find the soul back!" If you look at this young man, you know that the spirit has been lost. ”
Li Zhonglou hurriedly asked, "How do you get it back?" ”
"Go to the ghost market to find a piece of clothing about the same size as him, don't bargain personally, buy it back with a little of the young man's hair and nails, on the opposite side of the ghost gate intersection, and burn it. Be sure to call your name when you burn it, and the spirit will come back on its own. After Zhang Daxian finished speaking, he asked Li Zhonglou if he knew the rules of the ghost market, Li Zhonglou nodded, and said that if it was the same as the ghost market in Beijing, then he would have no problem.
"That's fine, it's one o'clock in the morning in our ghost market. On the side of Dongjiu Road and the southern section of Dongjiu Road, next to the Seongbuk Station, you can see it when you go to see it. ”
"Thank you."
As soon as Li Zhonglou finished thanking him, Zhang Daxian could tell him the real purpose. "I'm here to see if you're fake, I'm afraid of your life. Also, don't tell me about the worship of the mountain gods, our old customs are still the same. ”
"How?"
Zhang Daxian suddenly looked guilty and reluctantly spoke: "Actually, I have already seen the matter of the green-headed ghost. It should have been removed, there was an order from above, we... In order to form a tourist area and form a line with several ethnic villages, there must be performance projects, as well as traditional customs performances. So... The mountain gods of the village are to be kept. ”
Li Zhonglou didn't speak, he smiled silently and sarcastically, he couldn't say anything, so he had to nod.
Qin Zitao was still saying: "Oh, you are stupid, you can also get rid of the green-headed ghost, and then pretend to have a mountain god, isn't it?" ”
Zhang Daxian sighed, "There is no weird movement, where can I attract tourists?" It's like driving out corpses in Xiangxi, let's beat the reputation out first. It's also... The doll in my house is engaged in this tourism project. ”
"Huh? That..."
"Xiao Tao, don't say it." Li Zhonglou turned his head and motioned to Qin Zitao not to continue to ask, Li Zhonglou already had the answer in his heart. "Okay, we won't say it, on the contrary, we'll leave when Jane wakes up."
Zhang Daxian knew what Li Zhonglou thought of him, and he was embarrassed to stay longer, so he briefly said the precautions and left.
Li Zhonglou only thought about one thing now: "Xiao Tao, I'll go to the ghost market tonight, can you keep Jian Jie here." ”
"Don't, Brother Li, let's go together, you can't understand the dialect here, I'll help you translate!" Yunnan dialect is not even understood by our people in Sichuan and Chongqing, let alone you are a northerner? Qin Zitao was telling the truth, Li Zhonglou was right to think about it after listening to it, and took Qin Zitao to play the role of a translator.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Li Zhonglou put on an extra coat and took Qin Zitao away.
According to the navigation location, they found the Chengbei Station, but were told by the owner of the small shop that the station had been demolished, and now everyone went to the new station in the south of the city to make passenger buses. Qin Zitao asked if there was a ghost market, and the boss was very humorous, "You can get your mother a ghost anywhere!" Where is the gram in the big night? Why don't you go back quickly? Let me tell you, there are ghost markets, pay attention to safety, in fact, ordinary people come out to sell supper and daily necessities for Internet cafes and part-time workers. ”
The boss pointed to a place, hurriedly lowered the roller shutter and left.
Li Zhonglou and Qin Zitao shrank and faced the night wind towards a street with only one street lamp, obviously there were residential houses on both sides of the street, but none of them were turned on, as if this area had become a dead and silent no man's land.
However, there were indeed a few stalls selling supper under the street lamp, Li Zhonglou walked over and asked the stall owner if they were the only ones selling here?
The little boss shook his head and said, "Wait, they're coming." ”
Li Zhonglou and Qin Zitao ordered two servings of rice noodles and sat in front of the boss's stall to eat and wait. Slowly, almost an hour passed, but, without warning, the sudden clamor of hawking gradually filled the entire street. The owner of the stall still did his own thing and didn't deliberately look at it.
They paid and left, bypassing the intersection of the streetlights, and around the corner they saw a lively street, lined with small shops selling all sorts of things, and their goods were piled up haphazardly on carts or arranged in rows on the ground. There are medicinal herbs, antiques, and some small things like combs and mirrors.
There are a lot of people watching in front of some shops, and the business owners are not in a hurry and answer all questions. Qin Zitao was surprised by some small toys, and he had to go up to see the excitement, but he was ruthlessly pulled away by Li Zhonglou.
Walking to an unmanned cart and seeing that it was all clothes, Qin Zitao asked the boss how much it was, and the boss said ten yuan a piece, no bargain. Qin Zitao thought it was good, "It's so cheap, I can wholesale a whole box of clothes." When the boss heard this, he leaned over from the end of the cart and asked Qin Zitao how much he wanted?
Li Zhonglou asked Qin Zitao how he said, Qin Zitao said that he said it was cheap, and the boss asked him how much?
Li Zhonglou's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "What does a child understand? I only bought one for my friend and give the money now. After speaking, Li Zhonglou handed over ten yuan, chose a dark short-sleeved shirt, and was about to leave.
The boss shouted to him to change a few changes.
Li Zhonglou touched his pocket, and there were a few coins, so he exchanged them for the boss.
Walking out of the street to the abandoned station, on the way Li Zhonglou heard the sound of a few silver coins in his pocket, and took them out to see that the coins were still there, and the only two old copper plates were missing.
Later, when they came to the intersection near the station, Qin Zitao looked at the feng shui direction and determined where the ghost door was opened, and they were just across the street, putting Jian Jie's nails and hair inside.
However, Li Zhonglou was surprised that he asked Qin Zitao to cut his hair a little, but he didn't expect Qin Zitao to shave it down. Qin Zitao himself said that the uncle in the next ward only had a razor, anyway, Jian decided to go punk style, and I also gave him half of his hair.
Clothes were burned, and the ashes were carried in a straight line by the night wind into the endless night.
In the end, the two of them returned to the hospital and saw that Jian Jue was still asleep, and the back of his hair was shaved by Qin Zitao.
Qin Zitao now actually hoped that Jian would never wake up.
However, when the nurse came to check the situation in the afternoon, Jian Jue woke up. Jian Jie, who was weak and weak, instantly became energetic the moment he touched his hair. The two of them kept quiet, did not make a fuss or shout for help, but kept running in the hospital corridor: Qin Zitao ran silently with his mouth wide open in front, and Jian Jue chased after the infusion stand angrily in the back.
Despite this, he was scolded by the nurse.
After completing the discharge procedures, Jian decided to force Qin Zitao to go to the hair salon to temporarily deal with the hairstyle. Li Zhonglou also congratulated Jian Du on waking up, and Jian Du couldn't help but be angry, "Thank you, Brother Li, you quickly deduct the employment money for him!" Hair represents a person's essence! He shaved Lao Tzu! ”
"But it's also Xiao Tao who helps you go to the ghost market to buy you a dress."
"Phew!"
