Chapter 1 The third transaction in a week

Next Chapter

There is a Xianjia New Village in Yuelu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province, and there is a 4-story house next to Xianjia New Village. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This house was originally built by the villagers themselves. Later, after the development of Xianjia New Village, the surrounding housing prices rose, so the original villagers made a small fortune and changed the houses they built before into rental houses. In a rented house on the third floor of this private house, there lives the hero of our story, Director Wang.

Of course, he is not the founder of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who traveled back to modern times, the protagonist of Xinting to crying, Wang Xizhi's uncle, and the celebrity who said "I don't kill Beren, Beren died because of me". Our Wang Dao is an ordinary-looking 28-year-old young man. However, his identity is anything but ordinary. He is a demon hunter.

The so-called demon hunter, as the name suggests, is a person who hunts or hunts monsters and ghosts. Since ancient times, there have been many legends about demons and monsters in China, and in each legend there will be one or several people who fight against these demons and monsters, they may be Taoist priests, maybe they are masters who read poetry and books, or they may be high-ranking monks with profound merits. These people formed the camp of ancient Chinese demon hunters, and they were dutiful and even gave their lives to protect the world from these monsters and ghosts, so they were named the leaders of the supernatural world.

However, with the demise of the feudal dynasty, the rise of new culture, and the outbreak of many wars in modern Chinese history, these people either faded out, or died, or were denounced as the products of the old culture and the remnants of feudal superstition. Gradually, with the development of science and technology, the living space of the entire supernatural world is getting smaller and smaller, and the demon hunter, as the leader of the supernatural world, has also become twilight, and is no longer a respected industry.

It was a sunny day. The time is the beginning of May 2010 in the Gregorian calendar. At half past nine in the morning, Director Wang had just gotten up. In his words, as a freelancer, sleeping until you wake up naturally is a perk, but if you want to count the money until you have cramps, you have to rely on your own efforts. After washing up, Director Wang took out the quick-frozen dumplings he bought in the supermarket yesterday from the refrigerator and put them in the electric pot to cook, then walked back to the bedroom and turned on the computer.

As a demon hunter in the new era, he naturally needs to keep pace with the times, so Director Wang opened an online store on Taobao to sell anime merchandise. However, the business of the online store was a bit deserted, so Director Wang made an animation forum by himself at the end of February this year. Usually he pours water in the forum and posts some resource posts, hoping to use the forum to drive the popularity of the online store.

"Look how the two little girls did yesterday." Director Wang clicked into the forum and found that there were a lot of posts in the fan literature and anime sticker area, most of which were posted by JIN and Highway. JIN and Highway are two female college students hired by Director Wang, one is named Zhao Jin and the other is Qiu Haiwei. They usually help as customer service, promoters and delivery people for online stores. After the establishment of the forum, these two anime otaku took the initiative to apply to become the administrators of the forum, and the popularity of the forum was mainly supported by them.

"Not bad, not bad." Director Wang looked at the posts posted by the two girls, and then posted a few joke posts in the irrigation area, and went to serve dumplings.

"Ding Dong~" Just as Director Wang was serving dumplings and preparing to watch a variety show, Ali Wangwang's news reminder suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be a customer who wanted to buy a One Piece wallet. Director Wang hurriedly put down the dumplings and chatted with the customer.

It didn't take long for Director Wang to negotiate the price with the customer. The customer left the address and phone number, and when Director Wang saw it, it turned out to be in the Mulan Pavilion community not far from it. So, Director Wang ran to the balcony (who also held multiple positions such as a warehouse and a gym), found One Piece's wallet, and prepared to send it over himself.

Director Wang rode his Giant bicycle to Shuimulan Pavilion, found the customer's address, and quickly completed the transaction with the other party.

"Hehe, it's good if you're satisfied. I live in Xianjia Garden, not far away, so I sent it myself. If you think it's easy to use, just give it a good review. ”

"Well, no problem. Boss, the quality of your wallet is not bad, and it is cheaper than other stores, I will definitely give it a perfect score of 5. If it's okay for a month, I'll ask our colleagues to come to your online store to buy something. But boss, you should buy more One Piece goods, One Piece has the most fans. ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, then I'll go first."

When he came out of the Shui Mulan Pavilion community, Director Wang had a smile on his face all the time. Although the unit price of a wallet is only 40 yuan, the most important thing is to make a good impression on customers. Moreover, this is the third order of the week (I can't afford to hurt my credibility).

Director Wang touched his pocket, only to find that he came out in too much of a hurry, and he didn't even bring a cigarette. Addicted to smoking, he had to look around to see if there was a place to sell cigarettes.

Director Wang rode his Giant along the road to the north, while searching for convenience stores on the left and right sides of the road, while lamenting that Changsha has changed a lot in recent years, and the original deserted suburban land has now become one construction site after another. 6 years ago, when Director Wang just graduated from Hunan Business School, he was not popular at all. Now, residential buildings and shopping malls are springing up.

At this time, an old house with a somewhat dilapidated two-story structure suddenly appeared in front of Wang Dao's eyes. "Hey, have the developers learned to protect the old buildings now?" Director Wang said to himself, "No! In broad daylight, why is the yin so heavy? Director Wang noticed that something was wrong with this old house. He approached, grabbed a handful of dirt at the base of the wall, touched it with his eyes closed, and sniffed it again. Then he threw the dirt away and circled the old house.

"Strange, why does this old mansion feel so weird to me?" Director Wang watched it for a long time, but he was puzzled, after all, he did not specialize in feng shui. As soon as Director Wang decided to ask someone, he found that there was a convenience store across the road.

"Boss, a pack of fine white sand, a lighter." Director Wang walked into the convenience store and said to the boss who was playing the game.

"Okay, it's 9 bucks in total." The owner immediately got up and took out a cigarette and a lighter from the counter.

Director Wang paid the money, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then asked casually: "Boss, how is the second-hand housing price on your side now?" ”

The boss picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Now it is more than 5,000 square meters, and the housing prices in Changsha are rising fast." ”

"Boss, you're a local, you all have a lot of money now, right?" Director Wang asked half-jokingly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's also a blessing to the policy." The boss laughed.

"Boss, how long has it been since the construction site across the street started?"

"Well, it's been about one and a half years."

"Oh. By the way, why hasn't the old house been demolished? This community has been under construction for more than a year, and the developer has not negotiated the price with the other party? Director Wang pointed to the old mansion and said.

"No, that house has been empty for a long time, and no one has lived in it." The boss said.

"Oh? Then the developer didn't demolish the house? Director Wang continued to ask.

"Young man, you don't know, the developer has long wanted to demolish this old house, but this house is very evil." The boss said mysteriously.

"What's going on, what's going on? The boss said to come and hear it. Director Wang immediately pretended to love to listen to stories.

"Let me tell you, not long after the developer bought the land, they hired a construction team to do the construction. In the beginning, the work went smoothly, but when the construction team began to demolish the houses near the old house, something strange happened. First there was an inexplicable power outage at night, and then the construction machinery also began to malfunction. The construction team didn't care, and continued to work. But one day, when they were about to demolish the old house, the construction excavator suddenly turned off, and they couldn't get it right. There was no way, the construction team had to do other work first, waiting for the engineer to repair the excavator. Unexpectedly, there was an accident that night, and the worker who drove the excavator during the day suddenly fell ill. They hurriedly sent the person to the third hospital for examination. As soon as the doctor checked it, it was found that it was a sudden heart attack, but fortunately they were sent to the hospital quickly, otherwise the person might not have been there. The boss said.

"Is it so evil, maybe it's a coincidence." Director Wang said disapprerovingly.

The boss lit a cigarette and said, "Don't be unbelievers, young man. This was all told to me by the construction team themselves. They didn't believe it at first, but then two of them suddenly fell ill, and they realized how powerful the house was. A few workers who believed in this privately asked three or four mages to help them break the evil spirit, but none of those mages were useful, and there were still accidents on the construction site every day. Later, the developer really had no choice but to change the planning of the community, so this old house has been left until now. ”

"So amazing? Do you know where this house comes from? Director Wang asked.

The boss took a puff of cigarette and said, "I don't know very well. However, according to the old man, this house was the home of a big intellectual in Changsha in the 50s. Later, in the ten-year catastrophe, their family was killed in a fight, and their souls have not been separated ever since. Some old people also said that this house was the home of a big landlord during the Republic of China. Later, during the Anti-Japanese War, the whole family was killed by the Japanese devils, and no one lived there after that. ”

"Well, there's something interesting about the story. Boss, help me get another bottle of green tea. ”

"Okay, three pieces of five."

Ten years of catastrophe? Republic? I'll come back in the evening. Director Wang glanced at the old house, and then left the convenience store.
