049 Living Corpse (1)
In the early morning, I was forcibly woken up from my sleeping sweet dream, and in a daze, I glanced at the clock on the wall that pointed to six o'clock, and said to my grandfather who was still holding a broom in my hand with some anger on my face: "Grandpa, it's only six o'clock, why do you wake me up so early?" ”
Seeing that I woke up, my grandfather pointed at me with the broom in his hand, and said angrily: "Hurry up and eat, and go to the city with me to buy some things later!" ”
As soon as I heard that I was going to the city, the little sleepiness on my face suddenly disappeared, and I asked with a sincere face: "Grandpa, what are you doing in the city?" Do you buy food or wear it? ”
"You'll know when you get there, hurry up and the bus will be here soon!"
Due to the backwardness of the village, the bus only runs twice a day, coming to the village in the morning to pull people, and sending them back in the evening!
Fortunately, my grandfather and I came out early, and there were not many people on the bus, so I found a seat with my grandfather and sat down. As soon as I sat on the bus, I yawned and watched the empty bus slowly become crowded, and I don't know when I slowly fell asleep.
The bus was moving fast on the bumpy road, driving quickly towards the city, and just as I was about to enter the city, I was forcibly woken up by my grandfather next to me, looking at the white snow outside the window, and a wave of sleepiness hit me.
"Bang dang!"
But before my eyelids closed, there was a strong vibration from the bus, I was shocked by this sudden vibration, I was sleepy, rubbed my buttocks, looked at the bridge outside the window and scolded in a low voice: "TMD is really disgusting, every time the bus arrives on this broken bridge, it will be squatted, I am really convinced, not to mention repair, are you waiting for an accident?" ”
The grandfather next to me, when he heard me, gave me a blank look, and chatted with the people around him.
Looking at the frozen river under the bridge, I can't help but think that every year this big river drowns one or two people after it freezes, but I don't know who is unlucky this year and will drown.
"Bang dang!"
The bus shook again and drove out of the bridge and quickly towards the city center.
After another twenty minutes, the bus slowly began to slow down, and finally stopped on the side of the road, and the crowd in the bus quickly rushed out of the bus after the bus stopped.
When my grandfather and I were about the same time as the people, we slowly walked out of the bus.
"Grandpa, let's go to the pedestrian street or the building first!" As soon as I got off the bus, I looked at the shopping mall not far away and asked my grandfather.
Grandpa glanced at me when he heard this, and then he said nonchalantly: "Just follow me, and you'll know when you get to the place!" With that, he walked towards an alley on the north side of the road.
Although I was a little dissatisfied that my grandfather didn't go to the shopping mall and pedestrian street first, I didn't dare to show it too obviously, so I had to follow my grandfather behind him with a reluctant face.
Just when I couldn't take it anymore, a store with countless paper figures, paper horses and wreaths appeared not far in front of me, and my grandfather stopped when he walked to the door of the store and walked towards the store.
Although I was disgusted by these things, my grandfather had already entered the store, so I had no choice but to follow him in.
As soon as I entered the store, my eyes suddenly darkened, and at the same time, I felt countless eyes staring at me, so I looked up!
It didn't matter, I was almost scared to quit the store, only to see all kinds of paper figures hanging on the roof of the store, all of which looked very realistic, and the faces of the paper figures were facing the door.
After seeing that it was a paper figure, I resisted the urge to leave the store and walked towards my grandfather, who was chatting with the store.
"Gao Tian, come over and say hello to your Uncle Wang!" Seeing me coming, my grandfather hurriedly spoke
I glanced at the man behind the counter with a short figure and a profiteer-like face, and said with some reluctance: "Uncle Wang is good!" ”
"Uncle Gao, this is your grandson? It's really a dragon and a phoenix among people! The man looked at me with half-squinted eyes and a smile on his face.
When my grandfather heard the man's words, he smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, don't talk about these useless things, how much yellow paper do you have just said?" ”
When the man surnamed Wang heard my grandfather's words, he put away the smile on his face, thought for a while and said: "There are about a dozen bundles of yellow paper, but I can't give it all to you, Uncle Gao, you also know that some magic sticks will sometimes be bought at a high price!" ”
"Xiao Wang, you don't want me to do this every time I come, don't forget that in addition to your store, there are also Ma Huan and Hao Si's shops that sell the yellow paper I want!" After hearing the words of the man surnamed Wang, my grandfather said with a blank face and some dissatisfaction.
Seeing that my grandfather was angry, the man surnamed Wang smiled on his face and said, "Uncle Gao, how much yellow paper can you ask for this time to give me a letter, I'll go to the library to see if there is anything left?" ”
Hearing the man's words, the dissatisfaction on my grandfather's face disappeared, and he said lightly: "I don't want too much, you can get me ten bundles of yellow paper!" ”
When the man surnamed Wang heard that my grandfather wanted ten bundles of yellow paper, he was stunned at first, and then a flattering look quickly appeared on his face, and his voice was a little flattering: "Uncle Gao, is there something wrong with it, when your old man is going to collect ghosts, don't forget to inform your nephew!" ”
"Hurry up and get the yellow paper! Naturally, you'll be notified when the time comes! ”
"Yes, Uncle Gao, wait a minute, I'll go get the yellow paper!" With that, the man walked out of the counter and towards a small door not far behind me.
After the man entered the warehouse, I came to my grandfather's side and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, don't other merchants sell yellow paper?" Why deal with this profiteer! ”
"Gao Tian, you don't know, although it is true that the owner of this store is a profiteer, but in our entire city, the quality of his things is definitely the first, otherwise I would not have come to his house to buy it!"
Hearing my grandfather's words, I didn't want to say anything, looking at the paper cow paper horse placed on the wall, I asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, why are all the feet of the paper cow and paper horse connected, why don't you separate them?" ”
"I don't understand, if the paper cow and paper horse have to separate their feet before burning, they will run away on their own at night!" My grandfather said half-jokingly.
I scoffed at this, and secretly said in my heart: "Paper cows and paper horses can run with their feet apart, why don't I believe it?" ”
"Uncle Gao, do you see that these yellow papers are enough?" The man surnamed Wang walked out of the warehouse at this time, holding several bundles of dusty yellow paper in his hand, and asked embarrassedly on his face.
When my grandfather saw the dusty yellow paper in the man's hand, his face showed displeasure, and he said, "Xiao Wang, didn't you say that this yellow paper sells quickly?" Why is it still dusty? ”
Hearing my grandfather's words, the man surnamed Wang had an embarrassment on his face, put less than ten bundles of yellow paper in his hand on the ground, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what's going on recently, there are very few dead people, if it goes on like this, my shop will be closed!" ”
When I heard the man's words, I cursed in my heart: "Fuck, I still hope for death, no wonder business is not good!" ”
My grandfather ignored the man's words, came to his side, took out one of the piles of yellow paper on the ground, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Xiao Wang, how much do you cost these yellow papers?" ”
Looking at the dusty yellow paper on the ground, Xiao Wang's face showed a look of embarrassment, and said, "Uncle Gao, just give me eighty yuan for these!" ”
Hearing that less than ten bundles of yellow paper cost only eighty yuan, my grandfather smiled, took out a 100 yuan bill, handed it to Xiao Wang and said, "Give it to Xiao Wang, don't look for it!" ”
After taking the hundred-yuan bill in his grandfather's hand, Xiao Wang found twenty of them, and when my grandfather and I were leaving, he repeatedly flattered: "Uncle Gao, do you have to remember where there are many dead people, let them come to me to buy things!" ”
