This tall man was also caught on the street to serve as a ghost, and he has been on an errand for three years, but half of it is also voluntary, because he can at least have enough food and clothing to be on an errand, otherwise he would have run away a long time ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The town is so poor that it often doesn't have enough to eat. It is not uncommon for a full meal to be hungry for a meal, and to eat the last meal but not the next. Although it is said that the ghost is a noble profession in the underworld to eliminate violence and peace, but due to the scarcity of resources here and the lack of weapons and armor, the ghosts have no choice but to use wooden knives and sticks as self-defense weapons.

When the tall man came to town, it was already early in the morning. The golden sun gradually rises in the east, shining on this town full of killing and cruelty. There didn't seem to be many pedestrians in the streets and alleys, only a handful of pale old men and three or five aunts in skirts hunched over and walking in the alleys with their backs bent.

A few days ago, you could see all kinds of small vendors selling animal skins and fresh wild vegetables on the roadside stalls, but now you can only see scattered broken tables and stools piled up between the sides, and the plaques of many shops have been smashed to pieces. There are still many dense footprints on the ground in front of the house, like the traces left by the thugs who broke into the house.

The culprit who led to such a cruel situation was Zhang Qi, who gradually pushed the ghost people in the town to a dead end again and again because of his greed and lack of gluttony. Babies and children in every family were almost mercilessly plundered, dedicating the blood in their bodies to the thousand-year-old demon tree that was dissatisfied.

The tall man walked alone on the deserted street, clutching the iron knife that had long since been rotted and broken. Every few steps, he would stop and squint at his surroundings, as if he was worried about the appearance of those vicious gangsters.

The tall man seemed to be vaguely uneasy, so he took out the steamed buns from his baggage and stuffed them into straw sandals. This one is stuffed in, and the leather of the shoe becomes bulging, and it feels very awkward when you walk.

In this world, why does everyone regard gold, silver and jewelry as hybrid dung, but white-flour steamed buns as rare treasures? Because there is no grass in the soil, and no fish are raised in the water. Trees do not bear fruit, vegetables do not bloom. If there are no simple stone walls on all sides, there are no shabby grass houses in all directions. It will look like a ruin after a fire.

One is a luxury and the other is an edible product. If the money is earth, then the latter is gold. If the earth is a sheep, then gold is a wolf. The disparity between heaven and earth is incomparable.

The tall man is usually a lazy and lazy person, and if he has two dollars in his hand, he will squander them everywhere, if he has no money in his hand, hehe, he can only live drunk and dreaming of death.

If there is a place to splurge, there are not many small towns in this poor country. Most people live a very negative life, except for eating and working, and can only sleep at night. There were very few merchants, and there was a lot of hard labor. They had no intention of doing business, and even if they walked around the town, they could not find a tavern or teahouse, let alone a place for entertainment.

The only thing that can stand out is the gorgeous inn before, and the tall man is also going in the direction of that inn.

As soon as he came to the door, a shopkeeper came out of it, but this time there was an extra kitchen knife on the waist of the little er, and the knife was stained with a trace of blood. There was a faint smell of stinking fishy smell on the tracks.

The tall man couldn't help pinching his nose and said, "You haven't taken a bath in the past few days, it stinks, go and get a pot of wine and two bowls of vegetable soup!" ”

The appearance of the shopkeeper this time was extremely abnormal. He walked too frivolously and looked very scary. He didn't move his eyelids when he was laughing, pulled away a stiff face, and said in a low voice: "Ouch, officer, it's closed again today, I'm really embarrassed." ”

The tall man looked a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately bent down and raised his feet. He took off his pair of pungent and smelly straw sandals, pulled out a crumpled steamed bun from the hole in the shoe, shook it left and right in front of him, and said in a very arrogant tone: "See? I have money today. White, flour-made, still hot. Where do you look for it? ”

But the shopkeeper still shook his head and sighed: "Guest officer, everyone wants to earn this steamed bun, but it's really closed today, I'm sorry!" ”

The tall man suddenly became angry, and his nostrils cracked. Without saying a word, he threw the straw sandals with two holes in his hand back, and the one who split his head and covered his face rushed forward. Look at the earth-shattering spirit, the devil crying wolf, as if the whole inn will be fried into a pot of porridge in the next second.

Seeing this move, the shopkeeper was so frightened that his pants were about to fall off, his eyes widened, his lips opened, and his legs were about to turn into cotton. The golden liquid in the bladder couldn't help but flow out from under the crotch of his pants, and the dead skin face from before suddenly became alive.

Just listen to "Smack!" With a sound, the shopkeeper kicked back with his back to the ground, and rolled down the road from head to toe to the bottom of the ladder.

At this moment, the screams quickly spread from the inside out to all directions. The shopkeeper covered his chest with his hands, and howled.

The tall man still didn't give up, put on a self-respecting posture like a crazy bison, stamped his two feet and rushed forward to make a football shot, throwing out an upside-down golden hook and slashing at the left side of the little two's face.

The shopkeeper was too seriously injured at the moment, and he was unable to continue to resist, so he had to roll left and right on the ground and let him be at his mercy. The screams were incessant, and the cries were fierce. The face is like a withered flower, miserable to see!

"Ouch hey! Who is kicking the door today, the small shop can't stand the toss. ”

A woman suddenly appeared on the floor, short and stocky, with a golden hairpin on top of her head, and always holding a fan in her hand and fanning it back and forth.

The tall man raised his head, shook his long flowing hair, and replied with a glare: "Official, I am here, but you are refused, and there is no hospitality. Therefore, he was beaten up to relieve the hatred in his heart! ”

The fan girl squinted at those sparkling eyes and smiled, and walked down the stairs with a twist, her movements seemed to have been specially trained, and the place she stepped on was like a gust of fresh wind.

"You're the boss?" The tall man held his head high, crossed his hands in his arms, and looked at her with his mouth held back.

Fan Girl walked over and stretched out two thin white little fingers and touched her smooth face. A numb electric light escaped from his eyes, interspersed with direct into the tall man's eyes.

The tall man didn't seem to be tempted by such a charming gesture, but mocked with a wicked smile: "Ouch! The sow pretends to be a cat and is self-righteous. ”

The fan girl stopped slowly, looked back at the shopkeeper lying on the ground with wide eyes, and said with a surprised face: "What a brute!" It's all because I didn't train it well. After she finished speaking, she turned around and immediately said: "Official, your meal money is all free today, so the adults don't care about the villains." ”

The tall man laughed and turned to a table, patted the dust on the stool, pulled out his posture and sat down on the wooden bench.

After the shopkeeper got up from the ground, he immediately ran into the kitchen.

Fan also walked up to the tall man's side and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" ”

The tall man replied solemnly: "It's okay, as long as it's delicious, come up." ”

The fan girl suddenly lifted her blouse, revealing a bare shoulder, twisted her hips and sat beside him, with those confused eyes, put her hand on his shoulder, touched his ear, and whispered: "Official, do you want to drink a glass of green plum wine?" ”

The tall man didn't think so, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Of course! Of course! Except for you, though. ”

The fan child smiled again, covered her little lips, and said happily: "Ahhh Official, you are really joking, am I not beautiful? ”

The tall man said, "Beautiful! Of course it's beautiful, especially your fan. ”

As soon as the tall man finished speaking, the little two came out of the kitchen, holding a vegetable plate in his hand, and a fragrance emanated from it. The lid seemed to contain a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it was presented to the table at once.

The shopkeeper brought out all the dishes in it one by one, but these dishes looked very strange, and there was a dead cockroach on each plate, yellow and crispy in color, which had been fried in oil and water.

One of the plates of tofu was topped with two cockroaches, one on top of the greens, and one soaked in the soup. The rest of the dishes are almost identical to the previous dishes.

The tall man couldn't understand it when he saw it, so he asked, "Why are there cockroaches in here?" What do you mean? ”

The fan girl smiled and said, "Official, you are mistaken, this is a cockroach, this is obviously braised pork." ”

The tall man couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes carefully, and stared at the dishes again, and found that no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a cockroach, and he couldn't tell that it was a piece of braised pork.

The tall man asked again: "This is obviously a cockroach, don't lie to me." ”

Fan said: "This braised pork is also divided into several kinds, there are five flowers, there are thighs, and there are in the head, this kind is just a little meat under the pig's head, stuffed out with butter, the taste is fragrant, do you want to taste it?" ”

The tall man took the bowl of plates in front of him and sniffed them carefully, and found that the smell was still quite fragrant, and there was indeed a smell of meat, but it was a little fishy. He turned around and asked, "How about you take a bite first?" ”

The fan girl smiled, reached out and grabbed one of the "braised pork" from the plate, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it for a long time before swallowing it.

After seeing this, the tall man finally believed that the plate in front of him was not a cockroach, but braised pork, and he picked up one of the "braised pork" with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and began to eat it.

Halfway through his meal, he suddenly noticed a strange taste on his tongue, which he didn't know himself, and always felt sticky and sour on the tip of his tongue, as if he had eaten some worm.

The tall man's mouth suddenly stopped chewing, his face turned dark, and he hurriedly spit out everything he had eaten in his mouth and sprayed it on the table. Seeing the strange color on the table, he exclaimed, "What is this?" This is not braised pork at all. ”

The fan girl smiled even more happily, shook the acacia fan in her hand, and said, "Hahaha! Look at you, this is indeed braised pork, didn't I eat it myself just now? ”

The shopkeeper on the side also said bewildermently: "Yes, yes, this is braised pork, and it is home-raised." ”

After the tall man looked up at them, he suddenly began to feel a little dizzy, his eyes were black, and he looked at the little two who were confused, he slammed his head hard, and said, "You won't poison you, why don't I have the strength in my body." ”

When he finished speaking, he collapsed on the table, and slept for a long time. When he woke up again, he found that he was sleeping outside the inn door, and he thought that Xiao Er inside had dragged him out. After standing up, he rushed into the inn.

The door to this inn is closed, and the lantern on it is extinguished. The tall man tapped the door of the inn, and found that no one responded no matter how much he knocked, so he kicked the door open in a fit of rage, and swaggered in.

As soon as the tall man entered the inn, he looked left and right, and scolded loudly: "What about people? Where are all the people dead, and they dare to throw Lao Tzu outside, give me out. ”

No matter how much the tall man yelled, no one inside answered, and there was silence all around, and the silence inside was terrible, and his echo could be heard in his own ears.

The tall man ran up the stairs in a rage, pushed open the door to the guest room, and broke into the room. But as soon as he entered, he was completely frightened by the situation inside.

I saw a spiritual seat in the center, and there were three red candles on the spiritual table, and there was a spiritual plaque on it, and the card was engraved with several big characters, as if it was the name of the child.

The tall man was startled, turned around and ran out of the room, all the way down the stairs. As soon as he went downstairs, two legs hung upside down on the beam in front of him, and he subconsciously looked up, only to find that the shopkeeper had been hanged on it before.

The tall man was suddenly frightened, and immediately ran out of the inn, and by this time it was already dark. He didn't dare to think about it, and ran straight down the street back to the barracks.

Along the way, he had never met a single person, there was no one on the street, and there was no sound on the left and right sides. He followed the small dirt road in front of him until he reached the end.

When he saw the barracks in front of him, he quickened his pace, and like a gust of wind swept past, he kicked open the barracks door.

The people inside were all awakened by him, and the old ghost turned over in a daze, looked at the gate in front of him, and said, "Who is here?" ”

The tall man said: "It's not good, I've met something about the evil sect, come with me and take a look." ”

The old ghost got up and said, "What's so flustered?" What did you encounter? ”

The tall man said, "It's a long story, I'll explain to you in a moment." ”

A man jumped up from the head of the bed, looked at him and said, "Didn't you go chic?" Why did you come back again, what the hell is going on? ”

The tall man pinched a handful of sweat, walked all the way to the bed, and said, "I encountered a very strange thing in the inn before, which has never happened to us before." ”

The old ghost sat up from the bed, wiped the droppings from the corners of his eyes, and sighed, "You can't be talking about the inn with lanterns, right?" ”

The tall man nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, there is a string of red lanterns hanging in front of the door, which looks magnificent." ”

The old ghost smiled, didn't speak, just shook his head, and slept on the bed again.

That Biao replied suddenly: "Then what did you meet?" ”

The tall man turned around and said, "I met a proprietress who is very good, but she is a little fatter." ”

Biao smiled and said, "Isn't that good?" You've met Peach Blossom Luck. ”

The tall man said, "Where, it's not a good thing that I met, do you know who the boss lady is?" ”

The old ghost sat up from the bed again, and said to the tall man's back: "I know who she is, she has been dead for a long time, I remember it was last year, when our surname was He, and he also went to the inn, but when he came out, the proprietress disappeared." ”

The tall man looked back and said, "What? Missing? Has the body been found? ”

The old ghost nodded and said, "Of course I found it, but it was fished out of the river, and when I found her body, it had already decomposed beyond recognition, only the clothes and a fan were intact." ”

The tall man asked again, "Is that fan a acacia fan?" And the female is short and chunky. ”

The old ghost replied: "I don't know much about this, it's just listening to others." Not only did the inn die, but also a shopkeeper, who died so miserably, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. ”

The tall man suddenly went limp, sat down on the ground, and exclaimed, "It's over, I've met a ghost." ”

The old ghost suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, you're actually afraid of ghosts as a ghost?" When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and if a ghost is still a ghost after he dies, then we don't have to be afraid. ”

The tall man said: "But after all, I have encountered such an evil thing, no matter what, this makes my heart a little numb, has the inn been there?" ”

The fierce man on the side suddenly said: "Yes, the inn has been there, and no one has taken over it, in the past, Lord Zhang often bullied those ghost people, resulting in no one daring to do business anymore, those who fled for their lives went to flee for their lives, and those who stayed behind were basically infected with illness, and it was difficult to move an inch, so they could only wait for death." ”

The tall man sat on the ground for a long time, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and his scalp was numb.

When the old ghost saw this, he smiled and said, "Hey! It's okay, let's go with you and have a look. ”

Just as everyone was chatting with each other, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the door.

When the three people in the barracks realized it, they all locked their eyes on the gate, but there was not a single ghost outside the door.

The old ghost immediately jumped out of bed, ran over, closed the door, and became extremely excited, and when he turned around, he said: "Oh no, close the window quickly, I guess you provoked the woman before, and now you are coming to the door." ”

Biao also climbed out of bed, picked up the long sword on the side, and said, "What? This is our territory, although there are few people, but she dares to come? ”

The old ghost said: "Yes, it's better for us to pay attention, after all, there are not many of us, if we are targeted by that woman, we will be miserable." ”

The tall man also got up from the ground, ran to the window, and closed the flashing paper window. He ran to his bed again and pulled out an iron sword.

The old ghost came over and said, "Blow the lamp quickly, let's hide under the bed, if there is a disturbance, we will kill it immediately." ”

They both nodded, and then crawled to the foot of their beds. The old ghost glanced left and right, and then crawled under the bed and hid.

Soon after, the door was blown open by a gust of wind, and this time a black figure stood outside the door, stepping in.

Halfway through, the black figure suddenly spoke: "You all come out of the old decay, don't hide at the foot of the bed." ”

As soon as they heard the voice of an old man, they became even more nervous, and one by one they came out from the foot of the bed, and slashed at the black figure with knives.

But the old man jumped and flew into the air, and the sound of bells still emanated from his body.

The tall man immediately ran to the bed, lit a black candle, and took it to the door, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was none other than the bell standing in front of the door.

The old ghost stepped forward to look at it, and suddenly put away the long sword in his hand, and said, "Girl? How are you? ”

The bell stepped forward slowly and said, "Of course it's me, otherwise who else can it be?" What are you all doing? Why don't you go and get some blood for the old man, I need it. ”

The old ghost looked startled and said, "Ouch, Lord Bell, it's so late, where can I find blood for you, every house is closed." ”

The bell said angrily: "Go! If you don't go, you'll die here. ”

The tall man hurriedly stepped forward and patted the old ghost on the shoulder, and whispered to him, "Let's go, or we will be unlucky again." ”

The old ghost sighed and said, "Okay, since Lord Bell wants blood now, let's go." ”

The bell stepped forward, looked left and right at the situation around him, and said, "What's going on here?" It's a mess, the old man used to be not so dirty in the coffin, clean it up. ”

After everyone answered, they all immediately turned back to clean their beds, and in less than a moment's work, they were clean.

When the old ghost was cleaning, he muttered in a low voice, "What's wrong with this person today?" It's strange that I've never seen anything like this before. ”

Although the voice was very small, the bell behind him could hear it clearly, and when he went up, he kicked him and scolded: "What are you scolding for being old? In the future, whether in your heart or in your mouth, you are not allowed to think nonsense or talk nonsense, understand? ”

The old ghost was so frightened that he immediately turned around and whispered: "I understand, I understand, of course I understand, I won't in the future." ”

The bell smiled and said, "Hurry up and find the blood, it must be fresh, and I will reward you when it is done." ”

The old ghost said: "Yes, yes, I'll go and find it for you, you can rest assured." ”
