Chapter Twenty-Nine: His Seal Turns Yellow
Seeing that the boss ignored me, I felt relieved. To be honest, I've never gone shopping to buy clothes, and my mom or grandma used to buy them for me. I don't know the price of the clothes and I don't negotiate the price. In order not to be cheated by the boss, I pretended to be looking at the clothes, but my ears were pricked up to listen to the bargaining between those people and the boss......
Ten minutes later, the people left satisfied, carrying their clothes. When the boss saw that there were no other customers in the store, and that I had no intention of leaving, he came over and asked, "Little trick, do you look at clothes or buy clothes?" ”
"See and buy!" I pretended to be old-fashioned. When the shopkeeper saw that I was speaking Mandarin, his eyes rolled and he changed to non-standard Mandarin, "Oh, which one do you like?" Uncle take it down for you! ”
"I don't need to try!" I shook my head, feeling how strange it felt like a boy was trying on clothes on the street. Besides, I've never tried on clothes before.
"Oh! So which one do you want to buy? The boss immediately changed his tone and asked.
I pointed to a dark blue spacesuit on the wall and asked, "How much does this cost?" The boss smiled and said, "This is a spacesuit, light and warm." This style is also the latest this year, but if you like it, your uncle can give you a cheaper! ”
"How much?" I asked again and again why I felt that this big man was a little long-winded.
"Fifteen bucks!" The boss stretched out his hands and compared fifteen, with an expression that was already very favorable. Instead of bargaining, I pointed to another black cotton suit and asked, "What about this one?" ”
The boss showed an expression that you don't understand, and said: "This is an ordinary cotton suit, thick and bulky, and the style is ugly!" Kids, you look good, and you definitely look much better in a space suit. ”
"I asked how much this padded suit cost?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes, why doesn't this boss always answer other people's questions directly!
"Hey, if you want five bucks!" The boss stretched out his hand and looked happy. I ignored him, but took a pair of big-toed shoes and two thick pants directly from the shelf and said to the boss: "These plus those two clothes, a total of twenty yuan!" ”
"Ouch! Kid, you're kidding your uncle! I only have two clothes for 20 yuan, not to mention a pair of shoes and two pants, at least 30 yuan! "The boss had a resolute face.
"Boss, don't look at me at my young age and deceive me! If you sell someone for twenty dollars, you will sell it to me for thirty dollars! Hum! Since you're not sincere in doing business, forget it! Anyway, it's not your family selling in this town, I can buy clothes wherever I have money, and you'll have one less deal today! I turned around and left, and the boss quickly stopped me, "Wait, wait!" All right! For the sake of such clever children, twenty is twenty. ”
"Two more pairs of socks!" I turned my head and spoke firmly. The boss stomped his feet, cut his flesh in pain and said, "Okay! Make your friend today! After saying that, he neatly put the two pieces of clothes, the shoes and pants I had chosen, and prepared to pack, and I quickly stopped: "Boss, wait! "I took out my space suit and a pair of pants" Boss, can I borrow you a change of clothes in the back room?" ”
When the boss saw that I was wearing ill-fitting clothes, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" "In order not to distract the boss, I paid the money before I went in to change my clothes. After transferring the money in Zhang Guanshan's pocket to the newly bought spacesuit, I happily walked out of the back room, put the old clothes and new clothes in the basket, and then continued to wander around the street.
I bought a bunch of lard at the market, ten catties of rice and some vegetable seeds, and then I walked back with a basket full of things. When I passed by a shroud shop, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the stone steps in front of the store, with a sad face. I hadn't intended to meddle with anything, but as I turned to leave, I noticed a strange yellow glow on the man's forehead. I've never seen this kind of yellow light before, and it doesn't look like it's messing with ghosts, because the seal hall of the ghost person will glow with black or green light. Of course, this kind of yellow light is not the power of Taoism, and there will be light in the Taoist Seal Hall with cultivation, but it is golden light, pure gold in color. The light on this man's forehead was that withered yellow, and there was a thick sense of weirdness, I guess he must have provoked some kind of spirit!
It made me feel strange, and my curiosity drove me to find out. However, I'm just a kid now, and if I want to help people exorcise evil spirits, people won't necessarily believe me. Thinking of this, I decided to sneak up on the middle-aged man to see what kind of spirit he was messing with.
The man sat on the steps for a moment before he stood up and glanced almost desperately at someone in the shroud shop before turning away. I hurried after him, and he was so fast that I had to run to keep up with a basket of things on my back. Fortunately, since I came here, I have insisted on running 50 laps in the yard every day, and my physical fitness is also good, so I have not run out of breath.
The middle-aged man's home was also far from the town, and I followed him for nearly an hour to get there. It is a hilly area, and the red land is planted with green rapeseed, which echoes the wheat that has already emerged, and it is very vibrant.
The man walked to a small two-story building made of dark gray diamond tiles and stopped, and an old lady about sixty or seventy years old ran out with a hopeful face: "Big tree, how is it?" Would Mr. Lee be willing to come over? ”
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, the old woman said again: "Your face is so ugly, is it because Mr. Li is unwilling to come?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "Mom, Mr. Li said that he is too shallow to deal with that thing!" He also said that unless Mr. Lu from the county seat, there is no one nearby who can deal with it. But that Mr. Lu ...... That Mr. Lu will ask for at least 300 yuan at a time, where do we have so much money?"
"What then? Just let that thing torture your dad like this every day, torture us? Look at what Hong'er has been tossed into! Do you want to watch your daughter-in-law being tossed to death by that thing? The old woman became more and more angry, but she kept her voice down, as if she feared that she would be heard by the thing if she spoke too loudly. Such depression and worry made her keep wiping tears from her face.
"But...... But ...... "the middle-aged man stomped his foot and slapped himself violently" It's useless for me, if I were useful, Dad wouldn't have to hunt, and if he didn't hunt, he wouldn't have encountered that thing! It's all useless for me! ”
"Oh my God! We haven't done anything unreasonable since we left home, so why do this to us! The old woman sat on the ground and wept silently!
