Chapter 0004: Old Man

At that time, my expression must have been ugly, if it was a human, it would be a ghost, even if I saw a lot of this kind of thing, I would still be stunned when I saw it.

"Fortunately, fortunately. Burn your old bowl another day? ”

Since it was a dead man, of course it was burning, I deliberately snorted, and at that time the garlic taste in my mouth appeared, and the old man couldn't help but step back, his hand in front of his nose, and the old man didn't speak but smiled at me.

"No need, I originally opened this mutton soup shop."

"And they?"

The old man laughed, "That's my son and daughter-in-law." ”

"Oh, I see."

I put down the plate in my hand and looked at the old man in front of me, with a kind face, people have faces, ghosts have ghost faces, I am sure that this old man will not harm me.

Because of some experiences when I was a child, in fact, the spirit was not as terrible as I imagined, and I fixed my mind, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Tell me and maybe I can help you. ”

People have good and evil, ghosts have good and bad, of course, good and evil are just in a thought, I have been doing this for a while, I have been influenced by my grandmother since I was a child, I can deceive people, even if I am recognized, at most I will be scolded, you must not deceive ghosts, otherwise you will only be retributed.

Once upon a time, there was a gambler who lost a lot of money because of his gambling habits, and when he met a ghost, the gambler promised to give half to the ghost once he became rich, and the contract between the man and the ghost was reached.

The gambler has been going well since then, and at the beginning he can burn paper money or things according to the agreement, and after a long time, he has long forgotten the original agreement, until the family has accidents one after another, but unfortunately it is too late, and the evil ghost will cut everything including the gambler's body in half according to the agreement and leave it for himself.

Although it's just a story, tell yourself that it's best not to deceive people, let alone ghosts.

"That guy is weird, sitting there talking to the air." My actions attracted the attention of the people in the store, especially the two aunts on the side, who kept pinching the roasted wheat in their hands, and several pairs of eyes fell on me at the same time.

"Don't worry so much, there will be more people in a while." The man stirred the soup in the pot vigorously, and as the spoon shook, bursts of white gas came out of the pot.

The old man sitting in the corner nodded, "My soul can't support it for too long, fortunately I met you, seven years ago, the pillar came back from out of town with this woman, I didn't agree at that time, how can a family like us support such a woman." ”

I turned around and looked back, and the pillar in the old man's mouth should be the man standing in front of the cauldron with a spoon, the pillar is short, and a little dark, and his appearance is not good, even if such a man is standing in the crowd, he will not attract attention.

I couldn't help but take a few more glances at the woman on the side, it was completely different, the woman's skin was very white, coupled with a plump figure, such a woman could not hide the fierce material inside even if she was wearing a loose coat.

An ordinary man and a woman like this, don't blame the old man for worrying, this is definitely a realistic version of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.

"And now?" I turned around and asked.

The old man was happy, "At that time, it was because I couldn't rest assured, so I hid the title deeds of the shop and the house in the fourth brick of the wall, please help me take it out and give it to them, only in this way can I leave with peace of mind." ”

"Okay."

I moved the stool back, the legs of the stool rattling against the floor, and I walked through the gap between the tables, and the sound of footsteps drew the attention of a few of the people who were working, and the look at me was like seeing a man who had just come out of a mental hospital, and of course, I was used to it.

"Add soup, or something more?" The man asked, looking at me with a large spoon in his hand.

"No, someone asked me to tell you that what you're looking for is inside the fourth brick."

I pointed with my hand, and the man was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of my finger, and there was a large cabinet on it, and the position I said was right below the cabinet, which had been blackened by fire.

After I said this, I turned around, the old man sitting in the corner was gone, and I met a ghost in the morning, so I quickly took out ten yuan from my pocket and put it on the edge of the table, and then walked out of the store quickly.

"Husband, what did that person say?" The woman glanced at me and put down the knife she had used to cut haggis in her hand as well.

"He said, here's the thing."

The pitch-black wall, which had been blackened by the fire because of age, was on which the man in the mutton soup shop put his hands on it, and then tapped his fingers lightly on it.

There was an empty sound on the wall, and the expression on the man's face changed from disbelief to surprise, and he bent down and picked up the axe on the side and smashed it hard at the location of the fourth brick I said, and as the broken brick fell, revealing a blue-blue cloth bag inside.

"It's really here, it's something that my father hid, but how would he know!"

"Go find that guy and ask him."

"Hey." The man said yes and handed the cloth bag to the woman beside him, and I was already out of it.

"Thank you, young man."

When I came out of the store, it was not yet dawn, and there was a cracked table in front of the sheep soup shop, and when it was dawn, if there were many people, someone would sit on the table outside and drink.

Behind the desk stood the old man I had just spoken, his wrinkled face in the dim light of the streetlamp.

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

"Good is big or small, if I don't meet you, I really have to leave here with regrets."

"Why leave when you can stay?"

The old man was happy, "People and ghosts have different paths, these are actually also clear, I stayed because of an obsession, and I wanted to ensure that the soul body did not disperse, so I could only continue to absorb people's yang energy, fortunately, there were many people in the store, otherwise I am afraid that it would harm my children and grandchildren, don't worry about it now, it's time to go." ”

"I see."

This shop opens at three o'clock in the morning, and there are many people who come to the store to drink soup every day, so the old man can take this opportunity to come out and inhale some yang energy.

It's just a little bit, the place where the yin spirit lives is the yin house, even if the ghosts in it have no intention of harming people, after a long time, it will still affect people's fortunes, and even lose yang longevity.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and some people deliberately raise ghosts or other spirits to make themselves prosperous, because there is a contract, as long as the contract is not violated, the ghost or spirit will definitely not harm its owner.

The old man nodded, "Young man, it's a good thing to have a good heart, the things in the bag are not clean, so you can do it yourself." After speaking, he slowly turned around, and as the sky turned white, the old man's soul body faded and finally disappeared.

"Wait."

Watching the old man's soul disappear in front of my eyes, I suddenly felt a little more emotional. I was just about to leave, and a man ran behind me, holding the ten dollars I had just left behind, "Wait, how do you know that my dad hid things in that place?" "It's the owner of the mutton soup shop.

The moment the man in the mutton soup shop knocked on the wall, he couldn't believe his eyes, he had been looking for something that he hadn't found for several years, and it had always been here, if it weren't for this person, he might not have been able to find it for the rest of his life.

I'm not good at lying, I can't say that I saw a ghost, there is a ghost in the sheep soup shop, that will only frighten him, "I had a dream just now, and there was an old man in the dream, let me tell you that sentence, I don't know what it is." ”

"Daddy must have forgiven me, it must have been, Dad forgave me."

The pillar was overjoyed after listening to me, and kept repeating the sentence just now, and at first glance, the pillar was a filial son, and what happened back then was like a big stone that had been pressed in his heart, for some reason, the old man was gone, and many things were added together, and he was finally relieved at this moment.

"Take good care of this store, and this home."

I patted the pillar's sturdy shoulder, for some reason, I was always a little uneasy about that woman, this should be the world's prejudice, a woman can be willing to follow such a man to get up early and work in the dark, it already says everything, not to mention, just such a sheep soup shop, in fact, it can't sell much.
