Chapter 140
The bustling market life began again as every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What is the main force of inquiry? Aunt in the community! Whether it is the discord between the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or the son of the Chen family who only scored 79 in the math test yesterday or the girl of the Qian family received a bouquet of flowers, the flower giver is not her boyfriend, and the aunts know everything about it.
Where can I find them, of course, the fitness plaza in the middle of the community, they rush to the morning market to buy vegetables, there are many farmers who enter the city will set up stalls on the roadside at a very early stage, the vegetables are good and cheap, and the aunts can't hold on to such good and cheap things.
Li Quan was bored in the fitness plaza stepping on the cloud walking machine, waiting for the large army to return from grocery shopping. I thought that the aunts would have all kinds of questions about a young man who was in the mood for love and ran to the community fitness plaza without going to work and doing nothing, but the aunts were happy to pick vegetables and chat at a stone table and chair, and no one looked at him at all.
This is not scientific, Li Quan stepped on it for a while, sat aside and pretended to rest, and after a while, he leaned over and talked to his aunt: "This edamame looks good today, it's quite fresh, how much is a catty?" One sentence successfully opened the aunt's chatterbox, he and a group of aunts talked about what brand of rice is good from the price of edamame, and then pulled which part of the pork is suitable for braised pork half an hour later, and successfully talked about the life plan of young people half an hour later, and then he finally understood why the aunt was not particularly surprised that he appeared in the fitness square, today Saturday, I don't remember what Monday and Saturday are after not going to work for a long time.
When the topic turned to the marriage and love life of young people and the aunts began to ask questions about Li Quan's personal emotional life, Li Quan stopped in time and successfully turned the marriage issue to young people who can't afford to buy a house, the housing price is inflated, and it is not easy to rent a house. Smoothly entered the link he was most concerned about, sharing - the two men in Building 19 shared - what were those two men doing?
The aunts were very enthusiastic and said everything Li Quan wanted to know or not, the two men rented the house here about five months ago, and they went out early and returned late, that is, the appearance of ordinary office workers, they never communicate with their neighbors more and have more contact, but people in the city are basically like this, especially those who come from outside, so there is nothing special.
Aunt Lei, who was peeling edamame in her hand, inadvertently said something suspicious, Aunt Lei's dog is the kind of small dog Angel, every time she takes it out for a walk, she must firmly grasp the rope, otherwise the dog barks when it meets people, and strangers and familiar people bark, a fierce look, and children are afraid of it. But when I met that thin man, I didn't say a word, jumped forward hard, and the few times I met by chance, Aunt Lei was pulled and stumbled.
"It's really strange, my family's Xuexue will never be like this, only when I meet him." Aunt Lei put the peeled edamame skin in a plastic bag and threw it into the trash can on the side, looked at the sky and said, "I'll go back to cooking first." ”
An aunt on the side said, "Why did you go back so early today?" ”
Aunt Lei smiled: "My daughter is back today." ”
"Yo oh, she's working in the field, and she's only coming back a few times a year, whether she has to burn a table, or her daughter, she knows to come back when she is free, unlike my son, who is married and doesn't come back once a year."
Li Quan looked at them and suddenly remembered his mother, who had not found a serious job since graduation, and was embarrassed to go home, afraid of going back to face his parents' disappointed faces. Alas...... Li Quan rubbed his face vigorously, first solved the matter in front of him, and when this matter was solved, he would find a job well.
He cheered up, thought of several ideas to deceive the door of the house, and overturned them one by one, and the aunts on one side were discussing the discount of the community supermarket at this time, buy XX and get X free, and then discount it with a coupon or something.
That's right! I think he has been messing around in the great cause for a while, and even those believers in Almighty God have been subdued, and he is still afraid of such trivial things as sweeping the building.
He ran to Old Man Lin's shop, grabbed a handful of takeaway orders and came out, Zhang Ying saw him running in and out in a hurry, and asked him what he was doing, he said his thoughts, Zhang Ying said: "It's better for me to go, they will be less guarded." ”
"But doesn't Zhao Xingbang still want you to take care of it?"
"It's okay, I just wiped him for this hour, and that neighborhood isn't far away anyway, right?" Zhang Ying looked at him, Li Quan thought about it, and gave her the takeaway order.
The first time she did this kind of thing, Zhang Ying's heart "plopped" and jumped, she kept saying to herself, isn't it just to deliver a takeaway order, this thing is normal and ordinary, what is there to be nervous, don't be nervous...... The more this happened, the more nervous she became, and afterwards she said that the tension was greater than level 4, less than the college entrance examination.
Standing at the door, she took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the door, and a man's voice inside asked, "Who?" Zhang Ying cleared her throat and replied, "I'm from the Lin family's snack bar." ”
The door opened, it was the fat man who opened the door, Zhang Ying smiled sweetly at him: "Hey, big brother, have you ever been to our store, look familiar to you, the boss will do an event tonight, buy one get one free for beer, if you can bet on the score of the two teams tonight, the consumption at night will be free of charge~~"
I thought the fat man would be very happy, but I didn't expect him to wave his hand listlessly: "It's boring, I can't guess anyway." ”
Zhang Ying was stunned at the door, not knowing what to say next, and the thin man walked out of the room: "What's the matter?" He looked at Zhang Ying and remembered her: "Aren't you the owner of that snack bar?" Zhang Ying hurriedly handed him the takeaway order, and said to him in the gentlest voice: "Oh, where is the boss, just to help people watch the store, by the way, we have an event in the store tonight, we must come." ”
This cute tone even made her secretly disgusted, and the thin man pushed the fat man: "Hey, look at the sincere invitation of other little beauties, you should go." Don't bet that big. ”
The fat man nodded with interest: "Okay, I'll go and sleep again, and I'll talk about it in the evening." ”
Zhang Ying thanked her very happily and was about to leave, the aunt next door came back with the dishes, and the thin man hadn't closed the door yet, as a salesman, if he only knocked on the door and didn't knock on the door next door, it would be too suspicious. But if you tell this aunt what you said to the thin man, within twenty minutes, the uncles and aunts in the whole community will have to know, and the old man Lin will not have to pay for his death at that time.
When the aunt took out the key and looked at her suspiciously, she stepped forward very professionally and handed over the takeaway order: "Hello grandma, this is the takeaway order of our store, there is a ...... tonight" Before the words were finished, the aunt was clearly very angry: "Who is your grandma." "I opened the door and slammed it shut.
The thin man smiled and shook his head: "Women, how old are they women." "The door finally closed.
Zhang Ying turned around and went downstairs, sticking out her tongue and breathing a sigh of relief.
The task was successfully completed, and when she returned to the store, she took out a small cloth bag in her pocket, Li Quan took it and said approvingly: "Think about when I first met you at that time, oh, that was a spoiled eldest lady, and now she can take care of things, amazing." Zhang Ying lowered her head embarrassedly: "Hey, don't mention the things that are young and ignorant." ”
"Tsk, young and ignorant. It's only been a few days, and you're already so old? Li Quan teased her, of course, she was slapped twice by Zhang Ying, remembering what happened in the residential building just now, she couldn't help but laugh too, Li Quan saw her laughing strangely, so he asked her what she was laughing at, Zhang Ying told her about it again, and said: "It's really the cycle of retribution in heaven is not happy, that is, if you can retribution, don't come so fast." ”
Old man Lin stood behind the cashier with his hands in his hands and said, "Women, from eight to eighty years old, even female ghosts have to draw a skin to be beautiful." ”
On Saturday, there are not many people in the store, the surrounding companies are closed, and the people in the residential area generally eat at home, and the customers in the store are prosperous for a while at noon, and then one or two people pass by and come in to order a ten-dollar Malatang to eat and play. In the morning, Old Man Lin drove Zhang Ying to rest, but Zhang Ying refused to leave: "I'm not sleepy, I promised to take care of Xingbang, I must do it." Old man Lin just blasted her out: "Go and go, come back at night, I am here during the day, my old man can sleep at night, and you young people have to do the things of staying up late." ”
Li Quan slept for a while after eating at noon, and got up at five o'clock in the afternoon, standing at the door twisting his waist and turning around, watching Xiao Ling come slowly from a distance, she was in very good spirits, looking at Li Quan's various distorted postures: "What are you doing, dancing to attract guests is not like this, I thought that today was a successful skip of work, and it was Saturday for a long time, I said why are my parents at home at noon." What did you all do today? ”
Seeing her coming, Li Quanting was very happy: "I'm waiting for you." ”
"Huh?" The second monk Xiao Lingzhang was puzzled. "Come in, come in and you'll know." Li Quan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the backcourt.
Xiao Ling shook his wrist and sighed that there was a big difference in the strength of men and women, and began to question the women's self-defense techniques he had learned, Li Quan beckoned her to the edge of the sink: "Don't be stunned, come and see." ”
"See what? A gateway to another world? Xiao Ling stretched out his head to look, Li Quan opened the cloth bag that Zhang Ying brought back, and inside was a handful of rose-red sand, Xiao Ling looked at it in confusion: "What is this?" Rose salt? ”
Li Quan didn't answer, took a bowl of water with a white porcelain bowl, sprinkled the handful of sand into it, and the water surface quickly tumbled, as if it was boiling, and soon there were thick black smokes.
There was a faint human figure in the smoke, and it became clearer and clearer.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but take a step back: "What is this?" ”
Li Quan calmly looked at the woman's face smiling at him: "The true body of the Great Spirit." ”
Zhang Ying's body is hidden in the spirit grass, this grass is the same as the previous ghost grass, it is also a plant that grows in the land of extreme yin, usually the pit is easy to find the shade of the water's edge, Li Quanzhao recorded in the book, with alchemy to give it new abilities, for some of the spirits with the shape of the shape can be recorded in their form, stored in the blades of grass.
The rose-colored sand was the treasure that Old Man Lin had kept before, and it was recorded in the book that it was used with the Painted Spirit Grass, which required dozens of stones to be refined, and the images stored in the Painted Spirit Grass could be released.
"God has been babbling for a long time, isn't it just a box of videotapes? What can I do if I see it? Know the weakness? Know how to extinguish it? Xiao Ling, who had regained his composure, was as sharp as ever.
Li Quan put the basin away: "At least you know what your opponent looks like, otherwise you won't know who you lose, wouldn't you be very wronged?" ”
Although he didn't admit defeat on his lips, he was still beating the drum in his heart, and that big spirit looked very difficult, how could he take it away. He's just an unemployed vagrant who has learned a little bit of witch doctor's skin, and he really can't do this kind of thing, but the one who should be able to do it is now lying half-dead in bed.
This matter weighs heavily on Li Quan's heart, if you want Zhao Xingbang to get better, you need to send Li Juan and others to die, if you want Li Juan to go, you have to dispose of the fat and thin, if you want to dispose of these two people, you have to kill Da Ling. The logical order is clear, but the most important point is that there is no way, Li Quanchang sighed, it has not been smooth since graduation, from work to renting a house to now, eating a spicy hot is killing people.
Thinking of this, he complained to Old Man Lin again, what swear is nothing, or swear with words, what did he swear that stimulated him to swear, and made the current situation.
Xiao Ling, who was sitting on the side, looked at Li Quan's face for a while, cloudy for a while, gritted his teeth for a while, frowned and sighed for a while, and knew that he was probably upset about these things, so he decided to let him stay alone for a while, so he got up and went to visit Zhao Xingbang in the room.
Zhang Ying and Old Man Lin were preparing the ingredients for the night in front, Zhao Xingbang still woke up and fell asleep, and the normal skin color range on his chest seemed to be a little smaller, Xiao Ling said to himself: "Is this medicine useful?" She thought about it, although she didn't know if it was useful, she still untied the Nanming Lihuo necklace around her neck, bent down, and buckled it to Zhao Xingbang, and the red pendant jumped on Zhao Xingbang's chest with a red light.
Li Quan sat at the window, looking out of the window with blank eyes, the sky was getting dark, tonight's game started at 0 o'clock, and the guests generally came over at about six or seven o'clock, and then chatted and waited to watch the game. It's up to you to see how much useful news you can get tonight.
There were more people in the small restaurant, and even two tables were set outside, Old Man Lin asked Li Quan to help keep an eye on the point, and the chengguan came to collect it quickly, Li Quan was still thinking about how to start talking if those two people came, and what method to use to probe would not make them wary, the whole person was not reluctant, Old Man Lin saw him like this, and knew that he couldn't count on him, so he asked Xiao Ling to look at it, Xiao Ling was happily running away at this time, and when he heard Old Man Lin's instructions, he smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, after so many years, you haven't finished the city management matter?" ”
"The matter of occupying the road is sometimes light, and the children don't need to ask more if they don't understand." Old man Lin was busy in the back kitchen at this time, his feet did not touch the ground, the small worker was busy serving the food and cleaning up the table, Xiao Ling wrote a list and handed over the list, and Zhang Ying collected the money. Originally, there were only two people in the store when they were busy, but now the quadrennial pomp and circumstance has doubled, and the beer in front is quickly empty, and the truck parked at the door is the beer that has just been ordered in the afternoon, but it is not yet time to unload it from the car.
Seeing Li Quan standing there in a daze, Old Man Lin stretched out his head from the back kitchen: "Xiao Li, help move the beer." Li Quan just thought about how to organize the language for a long time, and his head hurt, so he just interrupted it and moved his muscles and bones.
At first, he didn't feel anything, but after moving more than a dozen boxes, he deeply felt the serious consequences of his usual lack of exercise, back pain, leg cramps, and his arms were about to be unable to lift. According to the experience of the previous few days, these dozen boxes are dried in minutes, and they have to be moved a little more.
He lifted another box, "Oops, hey......" The feet were unstable, the beer crate fell to the ground, and the loud sound made by the broken glass bottle was like a bomb, which could be heard from a long distance, Li Quan had not yet stood firm, and he was about to fall on the glass slag, but he was held up, and while thanking him, he turned his head to see which passing fairy was helping, I really didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, it was no one else, it was the thin man who raised the big spirit, the fat man followed behind him, and the thin man smiled kindly: "Be careful." Li Quan didn't know how to react for a while, Old Man Lin heard the sound, poked his head out, and shouted, "Wow, it's all broken?" ”
Li Quan was shocked back to his soul by this roar: "Alas......" Just wanted to say that he was responsible for this, the thin man answered: "Boss, don't embarrass this young man, look at this thin arm and leg, this box of beer will be bought by me and recorded in my account." ”
The pen in Xiao Ling's hand stopped, and he exhaled softly, he had only seen such a domineering scene in novels and TV before, but it was really the first time he had encountered it in reality, it was really eye-opening, especially ...... This is still against Li Quan, she made up countless stories in her brain, and in the end, because this thin man was a hostile relationship, her brain hole ended up without a problem. She stepped forward: "What do you want to eat?" ”
The two discussed for a while, nothing more than some skewers and other snacks, the fat man said: "Didn't you say that you bought one get one free for beer today, and the broken box was considered to be bought by us, so what about the gift?" ”
"Come on, Xiao Li, bring a case of beer for these two of you." Xiao Ling greeted loudly.
The thin man smiled: "Don't ask him to move, let him rest, fat brother, can you move?" ”
The fat man answered, got up and went out, Xiao Ling took the opportunity to say two sentences: "Handsome guy, you are really a good person, you don't know, our boss can pick it, if you don't make a move, Xiao Li will definitely have to pay it all, he just came today, saying that he has no money on him, and he can't pay the rent, ouch, it's pitiful." ”
Old man Lin tried his best to hold back the desire to sneeze in the back kitchen, rubbed his nose, and continued to stir-fry.
Li Quan also came over with a look of respect: "Thank you, big brother, for your help." ”
"Hey, what kind of help, effort, what is money, money is a bastard, you can get it back if you spend it!" The thin man is arrogant and dry in the form of clouds.
The guests at the other table shouted to add vegetables, Xiao Ling ran over to take the order, and Li Quan continued to chat: "But why don't I come back after spending my money?" Am I not trying hard enough? ”
The thin man smiled: "Horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth, you know this truth, right?" ”
Li Quan hurriedly nodded: "But my path is not wild, where can I make a windfall?" There is no backstage and no one, doing something to steal chickens and dogs, and no one will catch me when I enter the bureau. ”
The thin man took a sip of his beer and continued, "Why do you have to think about those places? ”
Li Quan was thirsty for knowledge: "Then what should I do?" ”
The fat man brought the beer, sat down, and answered, "If you really want to get rich, why can't you do it?" ”
Li Quanyi slapped his thigh: "Hey, don't say it, I think about it, how much lottery tickets I bought, and I haven't even won five yuan." ”
The fat man waved his hand disdainfully: "What's the meaning of the lottery thing, even if you win the jackpot, you have to pay 20% tax, and the local reporters who claim the prize have long been ambushed there, and the gang of people looking for you to donate are also waiting, and they haven't gotten the skin first." ”
"Yes, yes, so, what is the good way for the two eldest brothers, point out to the younger brother, the younger brother will not forget the two great kindnesses." At this time, Li Quan seemed to hear the sound of his own festival shattering.
The thin man glanced at him: "You really want to get rich?" ”
"Gee, who wouldn't. Big brother, don't sell it, the little brother is going crazy with poverty. ”
The thin man leaned over: "Brother will show you a clear way - raise the Great Spirit." ”
Li Quan looked at him in confusion: "What great spirit?" ”
The thin man was a little impatient with this guy who didn't know anything, but the fat man explained to Li Quan with great interest: "It's just raising ghosts." ”
"Oh...... I know, raise a little ghost, Kuman Tong or something, hehe, I've heard others say, what kind of candle roasts the chin of the corpse, the roasted corpse sits up, and then takes the corpse oil to make it. Li Quan's expression was very well matched.
The thin man shook his head: "It's not a little ghost, I died at a young age, I don't know anything at all, I lose my temper if I'm not careful, it's too difficult to serve." The Great Spirit is an adult soul and is easy to do. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Of course there is, the little ghost can only make some small moves, and the big spirit can help you move the mansion."
Li Quan excitedly said that he also wanted to raise Da Ling to make a fortune: "So, where can I buy it?" ”
"What to buy!" The thin man said unhappily, "Yes, please!" ”
"Yes, yes, please! So where can you please? Li Quan had a sincere face.
"I can help you, as long as you give me the money."
"Didn't you please? Still want money? Li pretended to be stupid.
"Of course, haven't you heard that money can make ghosts grind? If you want to invite the Great Spirit to communicate with you and do things for you, of course, you have to pay for it.
Target. ”
"Where is the Great Spirit from?"
"Thailand."
Li Quan scratched his head: "Does he understand what I say?" ”
"Don't worry, if you can't even understand what you say, how can you be called a spirit?"
Li Quan said that he must raise a big spirit, but the money was not available for a while, and the thin man said that it didn't matter, it was okay to pay in installments, but he had to add some interest: "With a big spirit, how much money do you want, this money will come back soon." ”
Li Quan wanted to say, "Then why do you still have to collect money from me?" Your great spirit is so powerful, you can't make money? Of course, he held back and didn't say it, Xiao Ling came over again at this time: "Is there a god who can bless marriage?" ”
"Heh, the little girl has an idea? What are you looking for? ”
Xiao Ling's eyes were full of pink bubbles: "He can look like Wu Yanzu, like Jiao Enjun, or like Zhong Hanliang, or like Yan Kuan, he must be manly, and he will especially spoil me, and he will not refute what I say." Then the pink bubble turned golden and shone with ¥$: "Annual income of one million after tax, a house, a car, a nanny and a maid, by the way, a handsome housekeeper......"
"Stop, I think you're still looking forward to achieving world peace." Everyone who heard it burst into laughter. Xiao Ling snorted: "If you can't do it, just say it." ”
After the ball game, the thin man said to Li Quan: "You come to my house tomorrow morning, my house is in 501, Building 19, Xingxing Huayuan, I will tell you some precautions." Li Quan nodded.
Late at night, all the diners in the snack bar dispersed, and Old Man Lin finally came out and asked, "How are things?" ”
Li Quan clenched his fists: "I'm almost close to the truth." ”
