Chapter 24: Woman in sunglasses in the middle of the night
I said, "This is a normal phenomenon, there is a yin spirit in the Kuman Thong who enters the spirit, and incense sticks also have the same effect, which can have various effects on people. You should take the opportunity to sell more amulets to customers, and if you find that customers are interested, recommend more expensive ones to them. ”
Sun Xicai finally found the trick, and in less than ten days, he actually sold five or six Buddha cards, ranging from a few hundred to three or four thousand yuan. He was so happy that he invited me to the restaurant for a drink in the evening and asked me about Thai Buddhist cards and Kuman Thong. I told them about the typical cases of the more evil sects, and Wang Jiao and Sun Xicai spit out their tongues, and their faces were half incredulous. Wang Jiao said: "If the evil card is so powerful, then get a Buddha card for me and Xicai, and turn fortune, so that we don't have to watch the store to work, how good!" ”
I knew that she would say this, and hurriedly refused: "The Buddha card is risky, I have already said that the yin card can not be touched casually, people's fortune in life is limited, you have to make a fortune, you will definitely pay something that originally belongs to you, maybe health, maybe life." These words frightened the two of them back for a while.
A week later, Wang Jiao called me, I was very strange, usually everything is Sun Xicai's outcome, for fear that I would seduce his girlfriend, how did it change this time? Wang Jiao said on the phone that she had something important to tell me and wanted to invite me to the store. When I arrived at the Buddha shop, Wang Jiao closed the door first, and said with a twisted expression: "Brother, I'm ...... We want to take a few days off, and there is something going on in Xinmin's hometown. ”
"What's the matter? Use me to help? I asked.
Wang Jiao said: "No, no, you can help keep an eye on the store these days." ”
I agreed, but seeing Sun Xicai's eyes flickering and his expression was wrong, I immediately became suspicious, knowing that the two of them must have ghosts. Under my questioning, Wang Jiao spit out the truth, and her face was full of fear: "Brother, there is a ghost in your Buddhist card shop!" ”
I was surprised: "What, there's a ghost in the store?" What does it mean? ”
Wang Jiao said: "There is a very strange female customer these days, who comes to the store every day to see, but never buys. And after she left, I found that there would be fewer fruits, snacks and drinks offered in front of Kuman Thong. ”
"Is she a thief?" I asked.
Sun Xicai stood up: "Impossible, the store is so big, I can see her every move in the store very clearly." Besides, sometimes things are not lost, but mutilated, for example, the drink will be half missing, the banana will become half, and the fresh apple will rot quickly, as if it has been left for half a month. ”
I asked the woman what she looked like, and Wang Jiao said, "I'm about thirty years old, dressed very ordinarily, and I come to the store at twelve o'clock at noon every day." I don't buy anything, I look at it for a while and leave, and I don't answer her questions. I'm afraid she's mentally ill, and if I ask too much, she will get sick again, beat and scold people, and then I won't ask. I'm sure the Buddha sign in your store is a ghost, anyway, I don't look at this store! ”
After listening to their story, I did think it was strange, so I agreed to give them a few days off and go back to Xinmin for a few days, and I decided to visit the store myself from tomorrow to see what this woman was coming from.
The next morning, I arrived early, filled the cup in front of Kuman Thong with Coke, replaced it with a few fresh apples and bananas, recited the mantra twice, and then sat down and looked at the account book. There were no customers in the morning, and near noon, a customer came with a Buddhist card, saying that he accidentally fell on the ground and broke the shell, and asked me if I could repair it. I asked the customer's name, checked the sales account, and remembered very clearly that this amulet was sold to him for 1,000 yuan half a month ago. I asked the customer to leave the amulet and told him that he had to send it to Thailand and let the monks of the temple repair it by hand, but he would have to charge 500 yuan for shipping and pick up the goods in 10 days. Alternatively, it can be simply repaired with glue, but it may affect the effect.
The customer thought about it, and reluctantly took out 500 yuan to me, I smiled in my heart, thinking that I had earned another 500 yuan, and then the customer complained: "It costs 1,500 to ask for a Buddha card, and it costs 500 to repair a shell, this thing is really expensive!" ”
I was stunned and quickly asked him how much he spent, and the customer said, "Fifteen hundred yuan, isn't it?" "I said yes again and again, saying that you picked up a bargain, if it weren't for the fact that Thai Buddhist cards have not been popularized, 3,000 would not sell you. After the customer left, I was so angry that the root of my teeth itched, and I dared to love Sun Xicai to report the flower account, and sold a Buddhist card to black me for 500 yuan! I pulled out my phone and was about to call him when the door opened and a young woman walked in.
This woman is about thirty years old, with white skin, wearing large sunglasses, almost covering half of her face, and has a good figure.
She looked at me and walked around the store a few times. I raised my wrist to look at my watch, it was exactly twelve o'clock at noon, could it be that the woman Wang Jiao said was her? I said to her, "Just take a look, authentic Thai Buddhist cards, you can respond to your request, do you want to ask for one?" ”
The woman ignored me, turned around for a few minutes, didn't seem to find what she wanted, and slowly walked out of the amulet shop. I stood in the doorway, watching her disappear around the corner through the glass, only to be stunned when I turned around. There was only half a glass of Coke left in front of Kuman's table, and I had filled it in the morning. The banana was also missing, and I remember clearly putting five of them. What's going on?
That night, a few of my classmates and I played mahjong at the table in the store, and our luck was very good, so we played a few more rounds until five or six o'clock in the morning. I first bought some things at the fruit shop opposite and replaced the offerings in front of Kuman Thong with new ones. It had been a long time since twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but the woman did not come. I was a little disappointed, at five o'clock in the evening, I wanted to close the store early, but the sleepiness suddenly came up, and I fell asleep while sitting.
After a while, I was awakened by a chill, and looked outside the door, it was already dark, it was still raining, and there was a faint thunder from the sky. When I looked up at my watch, it was half past eleven o'clock in the evening, and I slept for more than six hours. Standing at the door, the whole street in the rain was not open except for the lights in my store. A gust of wind blew, and I shivered a little from the cold, thinking that I would not go home so late, and that I would sleep in the back room. Just as I was about to pack up my things and close the store, I saw a figure with an umbrella walking across the road, which seemed to be coming in the direction of the Buddhist brand store.
I stood at the door, and the figure came closer and closer, and when I came to the door, I saw that it was a woman, the same woman who had come at noon yesterday. It's strange that this woman is still wearing sunglasses, and I'm very strange, thinking that it's dark like this, can you see the way?
I dodged away, and the woman stood up with her umbrella outside the door and went straight into the store. After closing the door, she was still walking around the store, and I couldn't help but ask, "What do you need?" I have lived in Thailand for several years, and the Buddha card Kuman and jewelry in our store are authentic Thai temple consecrations, and the fake one pays ten! ”
The woman paused, looked at me, and continued walking around the store. I have been in Thailand for a few years, and I have seen a lot of Buddha cards such as Guman and Little Devil, and I am also an expert in Buddha cards. Thinking that there was a high chance that this woman had something unsightly attached to her, I casually picked up an olive core bracelet on the table, and while pretending to be a bracelet, I whispered the mantra provided by Azan TAM.
The mantra was in Pali, specially used to ward off evil spirits, and as I whispered the mantra, the woman's body shook violently, and she lowered her head and held the shelves with her hands, as if she was not feeling well. I walked over and asked, "Sister, are you okay?" The woman exhaled, shook her head, straightened up, and prepared to walk out of the store.
I was even more convinced, took a few steps back, and continued to whisper. The woman stood on the ground, with her back to me, her body slowly circled around her feet, and she made a low and continuous "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm all too familiar with this situation, and it's when ghosts begin to attach themselves or leave their hosts. I stubbornly walked behind her back and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.
The woman turned her head slowly, her face expressionless, her mouth slightly open, and the "ahhhhh I was so bold that I couldn't stop doing it, and I reached out and took off her sunglasses, which I threw away immediately, and the woman's eyes were grayish-white, like two peeled grape grains, which were particularly conspicuous in the light, and she looked at the ceiling in a daze.
