Chapter 42: The Ghost Hunt
Is Xie Shanlin going to do it, I watched it from afar.
But to my surprise, the thief Xie Shanlin just chatted with the death row ghost with a wine glass, got up and walked to the table next to him.
I'm dizzy, why doesn't this guy just chat and don't work?
I thought it was going to use some means to get me back the backpack that the condemned ghost had put on the ground, but seeing it did make me happy.
Seeing that I couldn't eat the food held by the chopsticks, I could only smell the pieces of meat and fish like the ghost next to me, and then pick it up and smell it again.
During this time, a few ghosts turned around and touched the wine with me, and I couldn't resist the intention of the people, so I reached over and clinked glasses with them.
"Brother, shall we go one?"
I had just finished drinking with the ghost here, when suddenly, a cold hand was placed on my shoulder. When I turned my head, it was Xie Shanlin. I'm in such a hurry, and my heart says that if you don't go and take my backpack back, what are you shaking here?
Before I could speak, Xie Shanlin handed over a wine glass, and he put the wine glass on the tip of his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed it deeply.
It opened its eyes and shook its hands, and I was surprised to find that there was an extra watch on its bare wrist, and it was a brand new high-end watch.
"There's a ghost over there that just died like you, and I sniffed it with a drink. Behold, what is the spoils of war! ”
There was a drunken ghost lying on the table over there, and it was lying on the table and falling asleep. And the watch that was originally worn on its wrist is now worn on Xie Shanlin's wrist.
I was shocked, the family of the newly dead ghost must have burned a very expensive sacrifice, but ......
I wanted Xie Shanlin to return the watch to the ghost's wrist, but the words stuck in my mouth. I'm a human being, a person who can go back to the sun.
And this is the world of ghosts, in which every ghost has its own way of living. It's like in a big forest, you can't go to the lion's mouth and rescue a young antelope just because you have a good heart.
You can't do that, because that's the law of survival in the animal world!
In the same way, I can't use my outlook on life to ask Xie Shanlin to do anything.
Xie Shanlin was still excited about its loot and didn't notice my expression. But these are not important, the blame can only be blamed on the young dead ghost, its defense of others is too poor.
I stretched out my thumb to Xie Shanlin, leaned forward and whispered to him, "Brother, you can't just care about making a fortune for yourself, what about my things?" ”
"Giggle......" it laughed with the characteristic laughter of the ghosts of the underworld, "What's the hurry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, that ghost is a little tired, but he is in good spirits." After a while, it mingles with the surrounding ghosts, and I don't need to make a move when I'm drunk, you just go up and take your bag away. ”
I said don't be funny, that ghost is sturdy and looks like a good drinker, and if he doesn't get drunk, it depends on you.
"Giggle...... Don't worry, whether it's you or me, everything is under control, brother, you sit here first. I'm going to go around and get the food back in your backpack. ”
After saying that, the thief Xie Shanlin left my desk and went to the side.
Looking at its back, I deeply realized what it means to "rely on family at home and friends when going out", and knowing one more buddy will be one more convenient road.
Sometimes that's it, something you can't do on your own, and when you're about to torture you to a breakdown, get a friend. And in his eyes, it was simply a piece of cake, a simple matter that could be caught by hand.
I sat down and continued to drink. No, to be exact, continue to accompany the ghost next to him to smell the wine. At the same time, I have to keep an eye on the actions of the executed prisoner in front of me, if it also walks around to other tables to toast like Xie Shanlin, I have to cover my head and hide.
Fortunately, the condemned ghost just sat quietly in its seat, smelling the food and smelling the wine.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a cold hand was patting me on the shoulder again, and without thinking, it must have returned. I turned my head and looked, yes, it was Xie Shanlin.
About a quarter of an hour has passed since it left. Then it handed me a bag.
"Look at it, it's none of these things." It asked.
I took the bag and opened it, and I went to his mother, I was almost impressed by Xie Shanlin's stealing skills.
The bag contained a congratulatory gift from the ghost of the condemned prisoner to Master Wang's family. Of course, it's all my stuff. Bread, ham sausages, mineral water, and canned sardines, which are the favorite smells of the ghosts of the underworld.
"Brother, you're so good, where did you get it back?" I asked it.
"Shhhhh......h You just sit here and watch me, and as soon as I get your bag, you get up and go out, don't wait for me, don't worry about me, just walk out, understand? ”
I nodded, explaining.
I folded the mouth of the bag containing my food and pressed the whole bag against the back of my waist.
Xie Shanlin returned to the table of the condemned prisoner and sat down with a smile, and I sat here staring at it tightly.
During this time, a few ghosts came to me to touch the wine, but I refused on the pretext of not drinking enough. I stared at the two ghosts on the table in front of me, although the death row ghost was not as cheerful as Xie Shanlin, but Xie Shanlin couldn't stand it and could chat, and within a few minutes, three or four ghosts gathered around them.
I can't hear what Xie Shanlin is talking to them, it may be the news of the ghost world, or maybe a few of them are talking about the beautiful ghost bride of the Wang family today.
As they chatted, I saw Xie Shanlin take the wine glass of the condemned prisoner and pour the wine, and at the same time I saw Xie Shanlin's other hand quickly gliding over the wine glass.
It moved so fast that only me, who had been staring at it, hadn't even noticed the nearest death row ghost around it.
I guess this guy used tricks to do it.
I turned my head to look behind me, and there were already a few grimaces who couldn't bear the amount of alcohol, and their faces were red and purple, and they were swaying and leaving early. This is the best, and when Xie Shanlin and I slip away for a while, no one will notice the abnormality.
For the convenience of walking for a while, I put the bag pressed on the back of my waist and the gold and silver ingots into the blue schoolbag, hugged it tightly in my arms, and waited for Xie Shanlin!
The old ghost like a fritter didn't let me wait any longer, and just three or five minutes later, the death row ghost staggered and fell on the table with a "snap" after smelling the wine it had slashed with his hands.
"Giggle......
"Giggle......
The few stupid ghosts chatting around would not have thought that this was Xie Shanlin's means.
"Giggle......" Xie Shanlin also echoed them, pointing at the death row prisoner who was faint and smirked.
The death row prisoner fell, but Xie Shanlin didn't lift the backpack and left. It patted the back of the condemned ghost vigorously, and seeing that it did not react, it raised its hand and "snapped" a few times on the back of the condemned ghost's head.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The ghosts also giggled, learning Xie Shanlin's technique to treat the ghost of the death row prisoner as the object of anger, and after one beat the other, he raised his hand again, and drew hundreds of times on the head of the death row ghost in a circle.
I'm dizzy, do these ghosts really only care about their own fun......
"Whoosh!"
The ghosts whipped happily, and I saw Xie Shanlin bend down and lift my backpack from the ground.
It worked!
I also slung the basket bag on my back and stood up to retreat.
Yes, Xie Shanlin successfully lifted my backpack on the ground. It turned to me and winked. I also got up and walked away.
When I came, I clearly remembered the way back, and I walked quickly along the path dozens of meters long towards the door of the palace.
As I walked out of the door, two ghost servants standing outside the door bowed and asked me to walk slowly. I walked forward without looking back, and walked about a few dozen meters before I stopped under a tree.
Xie Shanlin, who followed me, also came out.
"Quick, let's see if that's it."
Xie Shanlin, the old fritter, is definitely a veteran of theft, and he returned the backpack to me without changing his face and heartbeat. I quickly opened it and looked, yes!
The compass, the cell phone, and everything else are in there, as are the others.
"Brother Xie, you are simply a great god, that ......" I was a little embarrassed, and said to it guiltily: "I just treated you as a bad person and beat you up." I'm sorry, so I'll compensate you a little more. ”
I thought that Xie Shanlin would be polite, saying that it was nothing, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family did not recognize the family.
I didn't think it spread its hands in front of me, and said indignantly: "If you don't say it, I forgot, you almost beat me to death just now." Well, I won't ask for much, and you can give me a gold ingot. ”
Holy, seriously. If it hadn't taken my backpack back and asked me for a gold ingot, I'd have had to beat it flat again.
A gold ingot weighs ten pounds and is worth 1.2 or 300 million yuan, and I can buy a house in the city on my side. So it asks for gold ingots, and I definitely can't give it to it.
I thought about it and said to it, Brother Xie, how about I give you a bucket of canned sardines and two ham sausages, you can take it home and smell it for the child.
When it heard this, it pouted and said that I was stingy, wasn't it just a piece of gold, so stingy. I also pouted, saying that one piece is worth millions, and if you help me write a number and win the lottery ticket, I will definitely share your share. Okay, canned sardines with ham sausage are just right!
After all, the gold is on my back, and it can't beat me, and I'm not afraid that it will eat and rob me. The two ham sausages were taken home and the child smelled them, which was said to be good at the beginning. Now I'm just adding an extra can of sardines to it, and it's really fine.
Xie Shanlin nodded depressedly, so be it!
I opened the blue bag and took out the bag with food and water. Take out a can of sardines from the inside, plus two ham sausages and give it to it.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that when the ghost of the condemned prisoner handed over the canned fish to the ghost servant of the royal mansion, why was the ghost happy to see the canned?
Xie Shanlin said: "You are new here, and you don't know much about the underworld or the Ghost Devouring River. In fact, the can is not worth much in the underworld. But scarcity is expensive, and many ghosts in the underworld want to eat whatever they want to give to their families in the underworld. The family will burn what we want. ”
"But there's a problem here, the things that have been burned in the yang world still have the breath of the yang world on them, and more or less those things and those things have been irradiated by the sun. If we come into direct contact, we will be exposed to the sun's residual sunlight heat, and the skin will not be cured for a long time. So, everything that comes from the underworld will be teleported to the border of the underworld, which is not really underworld. ”
"Let's go to the bank of the Ghost Swallowing River first, and ask the boatman to row us across the Ghost Swallowing River, to the border of the underworld, take our things, and then row back from the Ghost Swallowing River to the bank of the underworld. The nearly 100-meter-wide Ghost Devouring River has a heavy yin qi that will swallow up all the breath of sunlight. If you bring those things to the underworld, they won't hurt any of them. ”
"Moreover, after the evaporation of the water of the Ghost Devouring River, it will produce a dense mist of yin qi, and we ghosts walking in that mist can quickly replenish the yin and damp qi in the body."
"Oh......" I kind of understood, no wonder I rowed my own boat to the shore of the underworld, and when I reached the woods, there was a thick fog around me, so it was.
"But what does this have to do with canned fish?" I asked.
"Hey, that's a good explanation!" Xie Shanlin continued: "There are water ghosts in the Ghost Devouring River, and when they are hungry, they will jump out of the river to eat the ghosts who have crossed the river. Sometimes I'm so hungry that I jump out and even eat the ghost boat's house. But the ghost boat family is a bad guy, although he has no power and is not powerful, but he is a member of the government. ”
"Once there is a situation where the water ghost eats the boat's house, the government will send a ghost hunter with excellent water nature and long hair on the top of his head to dismantle this water ghost into eight pieces, and he will never be reincarnated!"
"But the water ghosts especially love to eat fish-smelling things, and some new ghosts from the sun have dried fish and canned fish on their bodies. It will become the favorite target of the water ghost. As a result, the ghosts are eaten by the water ghosts, resulting in very few canned fish-flavored food that can come to the underworld......"
"Hiss......"
I gasped after listening to Xie Shanlin's explanation, I was so lucky!
I came with canned fish, but when I arrived, I was just in time for the ghost hunter to unload the water ghost who had eaten the ghost boat's house!
My God, if that ghost boat hadn't been eaten, the ghost hunter wouldn't have been ambushed in the river. With that said, I almost became the first target of the Water Spirit's attack!
