Chapter 2 Old Ghost Chen

When the uncle stopped the boat on the shore, everyone lifted Zhang Da Fool from the boat with all hands and feet, and saw that his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was obviously dead.

The uncle walked over, stretched out his hand to stretch his mouth open, and took out a large handful of black phlegm-like things from his mouth with his hand, and threw it on the ground with a "pop". At this time, Zhang Dasha coughed a few times, coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, and woke up slowly.

The uncle said to the stupid daughter-in-law, "At twelve o'clock tonight, come here and burn some yellow paper." With that, he took me and walked away quickly.

At this time, the uncle can be regarded as a big reputation in the village, and it is said that there is a master in the village who can enter and leave Xiaolongkan freely.

When I got home, my uncle called me to his chamber and handed me a fist-sized gold ingot to take me to the old ghost Chen's house in the village.

I was stunned, thinking that our family and the old ghost Chen family have not been in contact with each other for many years, how did my grandfather die, and my uncle should also know, but he still asked me to send gold to the old ghost Chen's family, I am very strange.

But the uncle didn't explain anything, and I didn't ask, thinking that I would send it if he asked him to send it, but he didn't speak, and just threw the gold at the feet of Old Ghost Chen, and I didn't believe that he beat me when he saw the gold.

But I held the heavy gold in my hand, wet and a little watery. To be honest, I really don't want to give this gold to others by the way. It's the first time I've seen such a big gold ingot grow so big, and if I want to take it to the pawnshop, how much Yuan Datou will have to be exchanged.

After the incident just now, I really admired my uncle's ability. First of all, he pinched his fingers and knew that Zhang Dasha was not dead, and later he entered Xiaolongkan alone and rescued people. So I have great trust in what my uncle says and does, and I believe that there must be his own reasons for letting me do this.

In my impression, Old Ghost Chen has always been silent and unkind. He was nearly fifty years old and had no children. A few years ago, I didn't know where to buy a little daughter-in-law, and Old Ghost Chen was old, so he might not be able to do it in that regard.

Chen Lao Ghost has no children under his knees, only one nephew named Da Kui, his parents died early, and he followed Chen Lao Ghost to do business in paper shops. Not long after Old Ghost Chen bought this little daughter-in-law, Da Kui put his sister-in-law who was younger than himself into bed.

This incident was spread in the village at that time, saying that sooner or later, one day, Da Kui would kill Chen Laogui for this woman, which made Chen Laogui, who didn't get along with people very much, even more secluded.

I saw that woman when I passed by the paper shop before, she was in her twenties, and she was also white, and she didn't know what happened in her previous life and fell into the hands of the old ghost Chen. Several times I saw the shocking wound on the girl's arm, which was inadvertently exposed, and I heard that it was the girl who ran away and was beaten after being caught by Da Kui.

Anyway, I didn't hear about the woman's re-run, and she may have accepted her fate, but she came out and got along well with the villagers.

Although at the beginning, the big guys complained about the two of them, but after a long time, they all got used to it.

I came to the door of Old Ghost Chen's paper shop with the gold ingot, and I didn't see Da Kui, but I saw the woman sitting on the side and tied the paper. The woman's hands were very skillful, and the piercing things were also delicate, and when she saw someone coming in, she looked up and said hello, and then asked me what I wanted.

I didn't speak to her, and I thought her voice was pretty good.

I looked left and right and said to her, "I'm looking for Old Ghost Chen." ”

The woman looked at me in surprise and said, "Then you can sit down first, there is a dead person in the next village, he will go over there to make trouble, you can wait for him here." ”

I asked him when he would be back, and the woman thought for a moment and said, "Usually you can come back at noon." ”

I looked at the sun, it shouldn't be long before the old ghost Chen would come back, so I moved a small stool and sat at the door, watching her tie the paper while waiting for the old Chen.

The woman's hands were constantly working, and she asked me six, "What are you looking for him?" ”

I nodded, just holding the ingot of gold in my arms tightly.

At this time, Da Kui stumbled in with a drunken body, and when he saw me, his eyes showed a look of vigilance, and he asked the woman, "Who is he?" ”

I saw that he was drunk like that, and he didn't speak. The woman responded: "I said I was looking for Lao Chen, I don't know what happened." ”

Da Kui ignored me and said to the woman, "Take some money, I'll do something." ”

The woman said, "The money is not with me, and it is not open today." ”

Da Kui didn't believe it, walked to the counter and opened the money box, maybe it was really not, so he turned his face immediately, threw the money box to the ground, and yelled: "I'll let you get some money, hurry up." ”

The woman was obviously used to being beaten by Da Kui, and was startled by this movement, and exclaimed, "I really don't have any money." ”

Da Kui grabbed the woman's wrist, glanced at the woman fiercely with an obscene expression, and said with a smile: "I don't believe it, follow me back to the house, and let me roll over on you." ”

As she spoke, she was about to pull the woman back into the house, and the woman was shocked and glanced at me, and there was a look of distress in her eyes.

I originally wanted to think that I didn't see it, first, this is the family matter of the Da Kui family, and everyone in the village knows about the ugly things in his family, but I don't mention it, and secondly, this Da Kui is a well-known hooligan, drinking and fighting outside all day long, and the eight villages are famous, and the shot is black, and most people don't mess with him. Because whether you can beat him or not, he will blackmail you, and this kind of person will not be good if he sticks to it like a dog skin plaster.

However, the woman's eyes were indeed too pitiful, and I was panicked when I saw it, and I was about to get up to stop it, when I saw Old Ghost Chen walking into the house quickly from the outside.

As soon as he saw this scene, Old Ghost Chen scolded, picked up the deadbolt by the door and beckoned to Da Kui. Although Da Kui was a bastard, he looked very afraid of Old Ghost Chen, and he didn't fight back when he was beaten like that by Old Ghost Chen, he quickly ran out of the shop, pointed at Old Ghost Chen and said, "Look at your old immortal, sooner or later I will kill you one day." ”

After saying that, he ran quickly.

The woman stood aside and cried, and Old Ghost Chen glanced at me and asked with a cold face, "What are you doing?" ”

I was just looking at the excitement, and when he asked me, I remembered why I came, and immediately opened the cloth bag, took out the gold ingots inside, and put them on the counter.

When Old Ghost Chen looked at the gold, he didn't say anything, his face didn't change, he just picked it up and put it in his hand to look at it, and when he turned over his hand and saw the bottom of the gold ingot, his face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Who asked you to send it?" ”

I was shocked by his tone, and then said, "It's my uncle." ”

Old Ghost Chen glared at me without blinking, and said: "Go back and tell Wu Dechang that if he wants to stay in this village, he will not say anything, but he must know what to do and what not to do, don't think that if his wings are stiff, he will do nothing, otherwise he will not be able to stay here." ”

Then he threw the gold on the ground in front of me, and it rolled on the ground a few times, and came to my feet upside down. I saw a few words written on the bottom of the ingot, but it was a strange word, and I didn't recognize it.

I thought that Old Ghost Chen was also so poor that he would be happy to see the gold ingot, but I never thought that he would have this attitude, so I picked up the gold and wrapped it in cloth again, and walked out quickly in my arms.

I hadn't gone far when I heard someone calling me from behind. When I turned my head, it turned out to be Da Kui.

Da Kui caught up with me, rubbing his hands and saying with a smile: "Chengzi, what are you doing with Old Ghost Chen?" ”

I was stunned, but I didn't expect him to call his own uncle Chen Lao Ghost, and said immediately: "I didn't do anything." ”

Da Kui glanced at the cloth bag I was holding and said, "I've had bad luck these days, you lend me some money to spend, and I'll pay you back when I get back." ”

I knew that this Da Kui was a good gambler, and I didn't know that his family would not be like this, so I took two steps back, shook my head and said, "I don't have any money." ”

Da Kui pointed to the cloth bag and said, "What's there?" ”

I was shocked, hugged me tighter, and said, "Nothing." ”

Da Kui smiled and said, "What a good thing, hold it so tightly, show me." ”

I turned around and ran, this big ingot of gold Chen Lao Ghost doesn't want it, I am happy in my heart, if Da Kui sees it, he will not care about the gambling ghost 3721, he will definitely snatch it away and gamble it first.

Unexpectedly, I was still half a beat slower, and Da Kui grabbed my arm, and then slapped me in the face, knocking me to the head. Immediately after his hand was empty, the cloth bag wrapped in gold ingots was snatched in his hand, and when he opened it, Da Kui's eyes were shining.

"I will borrow my brother's envoy first, and I will return it to you in two days."

After saying that, I ran away without a trace, and I covered my hot face, annoyed. I want to chase after him, but he is definitely not the opponent of Da Kui, who has a big waist and a round waist, and walks back with hatred at the moment, thinking about how to explain to my uncle.

When I arrived at home, I saw my uncle sitting at the door of the courtyard smoking a cigarette, and when he saw me coming, he beckoned to me and led me into his room.

My uncle asked me how things were going, but I had no choice but to tell him the truth. I didn't expect the uncle to be angry, anyway, he smiled and said, "Well done, I'm afraid he won't take it." ”

I rubbed my hot face, thinking to myself if there was something wrong with the uncle in front of me, you were so happy that someone robbed you of your gold and beat your nephew.

That night, two lanterns were lit in the uncle's wing. The lantern was strange, it was white all over, and even the light emitted from it was miserable white. The lantern was like two ghost fires, dangling back and forth in the dark, and I couldn't sleep in bed, listening to the dog barking outside the door for a night, and it didn't stop until the next morning.

At noon the next day, we woke up from our sleep. I don't know when the lantern in my uncle's wing room was taken off and put on the ground, and I saw two big characters written on the lantern with a red pen: "Ghost official." ”

Although I was curious, I couldn't figure out what Uncle was doing with such a lantern, it was scary to hang there in the middle of the night. I vaguely feel that the purpose of the uncle's return this time is not simple, it seems to be related to the old ghost Chen's family, could it be that the uncle knows the reason for his grandfather's death, and he came back to make trouble with the old ghost Chen? But giving gold to Old Ghost Chen doesn't look like a person who wants revenge.

For several days, the uncle has been confined to the room, and there is no one except for eating. When it was time for dinner in the evening, my uncle suddenly told my mother that he was moving out.

Hearing this, my mother was taken aback: "You just came back a few days ago, how can you say that you have to leave." ”

I also find it strange and a little reluctant. Because the most talked about in the village these days is my uncle, saying that he can break life and death, and he can enter Xiaolongkan to save people, and his ability is quite good. When I heard this, my heart was also happy, because I had already regarded my uncle as a family member. After my grandfather died, my family rarely interacted with the people in the village, and when my uncle came home and did such a face-showing, the people in the village looked at me differently than usual. At this time, when I heard that my uncle was leaving, I was inevitably a little disappointed.

The uncle said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not leaving. I bought a house from the shore of the Holy Mountain Lake, and I moved there, and it was a bit inconvenient to live here. ”

Only then did I realize that my uncle's face was blue and there was a faint dark color on his forehead, and I thought to myself that something might have happened to my uncle.

My mother thought about it for a while and said, "I originally wanted us to live together and have a good time, but since you've thought about it, let's go, it's close anyway, just come over during dinner." ”

Uncle nodded, and at this moment, I passed through the door, and I saw Da Kui standing there outside the courtyard gate, looking sneakily inside, and when he saw me looking at him, he waved to me violently.

I didn't want to pay attention to him, but I was afraid that my mother would see me, but when I saw my uncle giving me a look, I stood up, wiped my mouth, walked out of the courtyard door quickly, and pulled Da Kui aside.

When Da Kui saw me, he was a little excited, and said with a smile: "Do you still have gold, Lao Tzu was lucky yesterday, and he lost all of a sudden, and now he urgently needs to find money to turn over." ”

I said in my heart that this Da Kui is really a scoundrel, he originally snatched the gold, and he lost it overnight, and he dared to come to me. I shrugged and said, "No." ”

After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave, but Da Kui grabbed me again and said, "It's really gone?" Let me flip through it. ”

I shook off his hand and said angrily, "Why should I let you flip it." ”

Da Kui smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't let me turn it, but can you tell your uncle and transfer it to me?" ”

I said, "I can't really help with that." ”

I can't do it without talking about my uncle. This Dakui has a good reputation, and he must not be allowed to trouble his uncle. Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, I heard my uncle's voice coming from behind me: "Let him in." ”
