A few of us came to the door of the rental shop, and looked at the tattered signboard and were speechless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I thought that the color of the signboard was earthy yellow, but when I got closer, I saw that the color of the earthy yellow was the wood color exposed after the paint of the sign was removed, and the wood of this brand was already very damp, and I seemed to see some mushrooms growing in the corner of this signboard.

Under this sign, there is a rusty iron door, the iron door is ajar, and it seems that there is still a sound coming from inside.

The fat man smashed his mouth and said, "Tsk, such an old store, will there still be business?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain behind the iron door was lifted by a withered old hand, and a strange face full of wrinkles poked out from behind the curtain.

There was a strange grin on the strange face, and a strange smell wafted out of the mouth of the strange face.

I was startled, and involuntarily took two steps back, almost sitting on the ground.

"Hehe, are you here to rent the tape?"

The strange face said with a smile.

Only then did I realize that the owner of this strange face turned out to be a little old man in a black and gray canvas suit.

The little old man was not tall, with a hunched waist, his eyebrows had fallen out, and the few remaining hairs on his head had turned white, and when he spoke, his mouth opened and closed, revealing the few yellow teeth left in his mouth.

"Sir, we just want to take a look!" The Mo Jun beside me said politely to the little old man in front of him.

"Hehe, come in, it's okay if you don't rent something."

The old man said, walked into the back of the curtain, lifted the curtain with one hand and made a gesture of please.

We're welcome, and we walked into this rental shop with a very bad appearance.

When I entered, I realized that there was still a cave in it, and it was not as dilapidated as the signboard, but surprisingly clean and tidy.

The rental shop is estimated to be more than 80 square meters, with shelves for cassette tapes or CDs on both sides, and a table in the middle with an old-fashioned radio on it, which seems to be working very well, and the speakers are squeaking and playing an old drama that I have never heard before.

On top of that, there was a faint smell of incense in the shop, as if the old man had ordered some spices before we came.

I sniffled and said, "What incense?" Why does it taste so strange? ”

"This is the taste of Maguzi medicine, I spent a lot of money to find it, this taste can calm the nerves, and it is more effective than the soothing powder in the late Qing Dynasty."

Wu Zun on the side frowned and said, "Ma Guzi medicine? Could it be the kind of herb that the great warlord Zhang Tixiang found in the ancient tomb of Magu Mountain during the Republic of China? ”

"What is Ma Gu Zi Medicine?" I asked Wu Zun.

Wu Zun said to us: "Maguzi medicine is a kind of medicinal material discovered by a warlord in the Republic of China when he robbed tombs and dug up gold to make up military salaries. This herb has no effect other than to volatilize some fragrance. However, the value of this herb comes from its volatile fragrance. It is said that this fragrance can stimulate human brain cells, and it is likely to turn a mindless madman into a normal person. ”

The fat man exclaimed: "I'll go, so the neuropathy will be cured?" ”

Wu Zun shook his head: "I don't think it's possible, at that time, this medicinal material itself was very rare, and it is estimated that it has long been extinct now." And there are no real cases of saving people with medicinal incense, and what I'm talking about are just some of the rumors I've heard during my travels. ”

"The Taoist has extraordinary experience, and few people know about this kind of Ma Gu Zi medicine now!" The old man smiled slightly, looked at Wu Zun and said lightly.

"Dao Chief?" Several of us were stunned, I looked at Wu Zun, he didn't wear a Taoist uniform, how could this old man know that he was a Taoist priest?

I saw Wu Zun suddenly clasp his hands into fists, and saluted slightly: "Under Wu Zun, haven't asked for advice yet?" ”

The old man waved his hand, smiled and said, "Hehe, it's easy to say, it's cheap Chen Haishan!" ”

Wu Zun's face changed drastically, and then he bowed ninety degrees again and said, "The junior is offended, dare to ask the senior, is it Chen Haishan, the head of the Mai Chen family?" ”

"Oh? Do you know me? ”

As he spoke, the little old man took out a cigarette pouch and pot from his back, and looked at Wu Zun playfully while filling it with shredded tobacco.

As soon as I heard Wu Zun talk about the Mai Chen family, I chuckled in my heart, and said to myself while looking curiously at the strange old man in front of me: "No, the head of the famous Mai faction is this inconspicuous old man?" ”

I saw Wu Zun very humble and said: "The younger generation is the ninety-second generation disciple of the Qingzhu Sect, and he has already heard about the Mai Sect. ”

The old man smiled: "No wonder, it turned out to be a disciple of the Qingzhu Sect." So the young master of the Yue family is your successor? ”

Ay? Why did you talk about me?

When I saw that what I said was in place, I hurriedly learned from Wu Zun and hugged his fists and said, "Say hello to my seniors!" ”

But I'm not from the rivers and lakes, this kind of bowing is extremely funny, looking at a few people on the side covering their mouths and snickering.

Wu Zun hurriedly said: "The senior's eyes are like a torch, and I also ask the seniors to give me some advice." ”

The old man seemed to be a little tired of bowing all the time, and stretched out his hand to help me up and said, "Hey, don't have so many rules, no matter how good I am, I am also the owner of the shopkeeper here, but you are a guest at the door, I have to be polite to you." ”

The old man's words amused us, and the previous tension was swept away.

This old man, no, it should be said that it was Chen Haishan, he helped me up, stretched out his old hand full of cracks, pinched my arm and said, "Well, yes, although I am not a genius, I can be regarded as a wise man." Young Master Yue, you don't seem to be going well lately! ”

I hurriedly said politely: "Yo, you can just call me Xiaobai, ah?" Not going well? Why did the predecessors come up with such a meaning? ”

Chen Haishan smacked his cigarette pouch and said: "Hey, I see that your Yintang is dark, but there are red threads interspersed in it, which means that you will be blessed by misfortune, but seeing that your eyes are like cocoons, it seems that there is some divine skill blessing in your body, why do you have a unique skill but there is a disaster like flashing?" ”

"Huh? You, what do you mean by that? ”

The fat man on my side patted me on the head and said, "Stupid, that means you seem to be unlucky, but you will get some benefits after being unlucky, and he also said that you have the ability, but you will be unlucky for Mao's ability." ”

After speaking, the fat man said to Chen Haishan: "Old man, don't tell him about classical Chinese, he is a white ding!" ”

"you, I don't know who copied my exam answers when I was in school!"

It's not that I didn't understand, but what Chen Haishan said was too abrupt, so I didn't react for a while.

Chen Haishan smiled at me and said, "Are you worrying about something?" How about telling me if it's convenient? ”

The Mai Chen family really lives up to its reputation, and a simple glance at me can tell that I have something in my heart.

And Chen Haishan is an old-timer, it's okay to talk to him, maybe he can help me come up with ideas, so I sighed with a wry smile and said: "I'll tell you, I received a courier, and there are two things in the courier, but I can't start when I look at these two things." ”

Chen Haishan smiled slightly, his smile was full of mystery and weirdness, he pointed to the tape on the shelf and said to me: "Since you can't start, then simply relax and rest, look for it, and see if there is anything that can make you forget your troubles." ”
