CHAPTER XXII

There is a money-hungry boss in the paper shop

――――――――――

White lanterns? White lanterns? White lanterns?

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the place that the aunt said was very terrible! Seeing that it is dark at this moment, will a normal person's shop pù hang a white lantern in front of his store at this point in time?

Why is there a rhythm of being pitted again?

Even though Lin Fei had already discovered the dark street in front of him, there was really a white lantern swaying in the wind!

"Oh my god! Is there really a one? The corners of Lin Fei's eyes twitched violently a few times.

Although I was scared, I finally came to the front of the shop with white lanterns!

On both sides of the door, there were four or five golden boys and girls with paper ties, holding ingots or ruyi, standing there with a stiff smile. It's really full of horror here......

Just when Lin Fei was still hesitating to go in, it blew for a while, it was called a cold! All the shops on the street have closed, and there is a dead silence, as if it is a dead city. Lin Fei always felt that standing outside was even more terrifying than entering the store!

He lowered his head and rushed into the paper shop in small steps.

Call......

I don't know if the air conditioner is turned on inside, and the indoor temperature is not much higher than the outside, but it is quite warm, which makes Lin Fei feel a little more steady.

He looked around, and the shop was ordinary, no different from the usual paper shop. Now that I'm in, there's no more horror I felt when I stood in the doorway and looked at the white lantern......

At a glass counter, Lin Fei saw a figure lying on the counter, sleeping soundly, snoring accompanied by ups and downs of breathing!

"Hey! Is the boss there? Lin Fei lightly knocked twice on the counter.

"Uh-huh????"

The voice woke the man up, half-hunched, rubbed his bewildered eyes, looked at the sky outside, and said strangely: "It's dark!" It's time to wake up! ”

Dark? Get up? Is there any connection between the two?

Lin Fei looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, his appearance was ordinary, although he was sleepy at the moment, he still saw the cunning afterglow hidden in his eyes, which made Lin Fei suspect that this kid had the potential to be a profiteer. Soon, his suspicions were confirmed.

After a few words of conversation between the two, Lin Fei learned that this young man was the owner of this shop, surnamed Cai. Lin Fei told him that he wanted to order a few of these clothes and burn them to his deceased friends! As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take out the photos of Xiaojun's clothes taken during the day for him to see. But he beckoned: "Don't worry! I'll find the ledger first, my brain is not bright, I have to write it down with it, lest I make a mistake for you! ”

Seeing that this guy was holding the attitude of quality and quantity and honest customers, Lin Fei didn't pay much attention to him, and he still didn't find the account book he said after spending several minutes, and kept muttering: "This group of dead ghosts, idle and idle to do my things." When I catch them, I'm going to beat them up!" ”

While waiting, Lin Fei, who was all right, looked at the various items placed in the counter at the glass counter, and one of them made him have to stare wide and look up: "This is a grapefruit leaf?" ”

Lin Fei pointed to two strange leaves in a square wooden box on the glass counter and asked. If he hadn't seen the grapefruit leaf with his own eyes yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to recognize that the strange leaf in front of him would be a grapefruit leaf, and it was glued to the wood. The two pieces of wood stained with yuzu leaves are also carved in a shape that almost resembles yuzu leaves!

"yes!" Boss Cai glanced at it, and Lin Fei replied with what he was referring to, and then continued to rummage under the cabinet to find the account book.

"Then why did you stick the grapefruit leaves on this wood?" Lin Fei really didn't understand why Yuzu Ye did this, so he asked curiously.

Boss Cai was very contemptuous of Lin Fei's ignorance: "This is not ordinary wood, it is a famous wood." ”

"Did it work?" Lin Fei then asked.

"If you buy it, I'll sue you." Finally, the true nature of the profiteer that Boss Cai was suspected of at the beginning finally leaked out.

"How much?" Lin Fei asked.

"Three hundred and three, pay in cash!"

Like a lion's big mouth, Lin Fei stared at him in astonishment: "I'll wipe it!" You're a fool! ”

"If you don't buy it, forget it." That Boss Cai didn't change as much as Lin Fei's expression, and said it very casually.

looked at Boss Cai's slightly provocative gaze, as if he thought he had no money. That kind of contempt is tolerable or unbearable! Gritting his teeth, Lin Fei took out his wallet with difficulty, took out three hundred and thirty yuan from it, and threw it on the table:

“…… I buy! ”

Seeing that Boss Cai was very greedy and grabbed three hundred yuan, he first counted it carefully, then took it out and put it under the light, and carefully checked whether it was true or not? provoked Lin Fei to keep scolding in his heart: Profiteer! Profiteer! Profiteers at heart! Three hundred dollars, ** count!

After seeing that Boss Cai checked that it was correct, Lin Fei asked angrily, "Can you say it now?" ”

"This one! …… It's used to see ghosts. Boss Cai said in a faint tone while taking out the box with grapefruit leaves.

"I'll go! That's all you still use to trick people, you don't know about me! Just find a grapefruit leaf and rub it directly on your eyes, won't you get it? And spend so much money to buy you these two broken leaves! You're a ghost! "Lin Feina called a rhythm that wanted to rush up and beat him! The mouth kept shouting: "Profiteers! Hurry up and return my money! Lao Tzu is not for sale! ”

"Wait!" Boss Cai once again disdained to kill Lin Fei in seconds, and then with a movement of his right hand, a back-facing sign on the counter was suddenly turned up.

I saw four big words written on it: No returns!

No way! It's the rhythm of a black shop!

Lin Fei's stomach was full of anger, pointed at the young boss, and shouted: "You... You're waiting for me! I'm going to complain about you! ”

"Boy, I advise you! I really can't find a place to complain! Boss Cai sneered: "By the way, I want to ask you: Who the hell sues you, as long as you wipe it directly with grapefruit leaves, you can see the ghost!" ”

"I'll ...... it personally" Lin Fei didn't finish speaking, and instantly remembered Xiaojun's matter, so it was better not to let outsiders know. Hurriedly swallowed back......

I only heard that Boss Cai was very ridiculous at Lin Fei's behavior and said, "I sue you, don't say use grapefruit leaves." Even if you wipe your eyes with a whole grapefruit tree, it's useless! ”

He took out the grapefruit leaf that was stuck to the wood in the box, and asked Lin Fei to look at the reverse side of it, Lin Fei saw that there were many strange stripes carved on it, and when he looked closely, the stripes on the front were actually one stroke. Boss Cai pointed at it and said, "Even after wiping your eyes with this, it can only have an effect within six hours." And after using it, it can't be used continuously for three days! It's going to hurt your body! The main thing is that the shelf life is fucking only one month. ”

"Huh?" Lin Fei was a little overwhelmed: "Is there still an expiration date for this thing?" ”

"Nonsense! You won't dry this leaf when it comes off the tree! ”

Lin Fei nodded reluctantly: Indeed, after the leaves are picked from the tree, they will soon wither! It should also have an expiration date!

Boss Cai's energy was also stirred up by Lin Fei, jumped up from the chair, and continued to talk about sex to Lin Fei: "Do you think it's so easy to see ghosts?" If it were like you, wouldn't everyone wipe their eyes with grapefruit leaves, and they would see ghosts every day? It's just that these two leaves took a lot of effort to get it right! Ignorant! Idiot! ”

was scolded by Boss Cai and was speechless for a while, so he had to nod secretly and say, "That's right!" ”

Hum! Seeing Boss Cai panting back in his chair, he went in again to find the rhythm of the account book.

Lin Fei suddenly remembered: Why can Ankang see ghosts after rubbing his eyes with grapefruit leaves?

Lin Fei hesitated and asked, "Is there a special situation, you can see a ghost by rubbing your eyes with grapefruit leaves?" ”

Boss Cai sighed helplessly, and scolded in his heart: Where did such an idiot come from!

But the way to deal with a fool, especially a curious one, is to tell him what he wants to know!

"Lest you speak of me as a profiteer! I'll just say a few words today! Don't bother me looking for the ledger anymore! Boss Cai raised three fingers and introduced: "People can see ghosts, which can be roughly divided into three types: first, with the help of external forces, such as wiping your eyes with these two grapefruit leaves; the second, with the help of its own ability, that is, the legendary yin and yang eyes and the like; The third is that if the ghost wants you to see it, you can see it......"

If the ghost lets you see, you can see it naturally......

Boss Cai's words, although Lin Fei had a half-believing attitude. But if it is really as he said, then the first two of the three situations of seeing ghosts are impossible for Lin Fei to save zài! Then only the third type remains, and if it is really the third one, what does that mean?

It means that Jun wants them to see themselves...... But why is that ......?

Boss Cai finally found the account book he had been looking for for a long time in the corner of the underground counter, which was an ordinary old-fashioned account book, slightly yellowed, it seemed to be some years!

Boss Cai lifted the account book to a blank page and asked:

"How do people die?"

"Burn this thing, and this exquisiteness?" Lin Fei's thirst for knowledge began to play tricks again!

"Burning something else, of course, isn't as particular as this, but burning clothes is different!" Boss Cai didn't bother to make eye contact with him, and while holding a pen, he quickly explained: "For example: the hanged one has a long neck, so you have to make the collar a little higher to cover it." ”

"Why?"

"What is what a person looks like when he dies, then what he looks like after death!" Boss Cai said: "If you think about how many hanged people are, they will be willing to let others see their strange long necks at a glance!" ”

When I heard this, Lin Fei's ears always felt a little familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere! That's right! Lao Hu also said something similar, although one is talking about the clothes of the dead, and the other is about the corpse, but there is a connection of the same meaning at the root!

"That's right!" Lin Fei nodded secretly and said yes.

"Then the rest, those who lack arms and legs, and those who lose their heads, let alone ......" Boss Cai finished speaking, looking at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei seemed to think of something after listening to Boss Cai's words, and he looked a little anxious, but he was trying to suppress this feeling:

"What if that is...... What about those who were mutilated? ”

"......" Boss Cai's face changed suddenly, and his face turned a little dark and looked at Lin Fei: "You kid, what is the matter?" ”

"You tell me: What should you pay attention to if you die like that?" Lin Fei asked without hesitation, he knew that he couldn't leak Xiaojun's affairs to anyone, especially these guys who were already doing strange business.

"You wait first. By the way, write the deceased's birthday on it! Boss Cai threw the pen to Lin Fei, and then immediately walked to the inside of the store, and then disappeared.

Lin Fei thought back to Xiaojun's birthday, he didn't know if the Zhao Group would fake Xiaojun's birthday, but at this moment, it would be better to use this instead. I took out my mobile phone, found out the corresponding lunar date on it, and wrote it in the ledger: ...... Year... Renshen Month... Ugly Day...

If Lin Fei pays a little attention, he will find that the second day of Xiaojun's birthday is the day of the heaviest yin in the year - the day of the Midyear Festival.

When Lin Fei finished writing, Boss Cai came back again, and his tone towards Lin Fei suddenly changed, and even his title changed:

"Sir, come with me inside."
