Chapter 62: The Devil's Business
Sun Xiaoqiang squatted on the street at the door of the shop and burned paper money, pinched a stack of dark banknotes in his hand and loosened them before handing them in, so that he could burn them more fully.
Liang Chuan said that paper money cannot be received by relatives who have been dead for a long time, that is, his mother cannot get it.
Liang Chuan also said that most of the things in the underworld shop are actually for the living.
These things, if they are burned, they will be burned, and the most direct value is not what the relatives in the underground get, but the living people find their own inner comfort through this behavior.
This is not a feudal superstition, but a custom.
yes
When listening to Liang Chuan say these words at that time, Sun Xiaoqiang's heart was actually very complicated:
A ghost,
A guy who crawled out of hell for the real thing,
He tells you,
This is not superstition, this is a custom, it is to cultivate sentiment, and it also belongs to the inheritance of Chinese culture and is in line with the core values of socialism.
Sun Xiaoqiang believed!
I really believe it!
Eyes, smoked by the eyes, Sun Xiaoqiang subconsciously rubbed his eyes, he was not crying, he really didn't cry, but at this time, the more his eyes rubbed the more tears.
He is very strong, he doesn't want anyone to be able to see his heart, because in the past, he was able to peek into the secrets of other people's hearts, so he knew how to protect himself.
"Mom............"
Sun Xiaoqiang shouted,
Then he threw another handful of ingots down.
Burn it,
Burn it,
That's all my son can do for you now.
Sun Xiaoqiang slowly closed his eyes and leaned on the threshold, looking a little distracted.
There are still many people burning paper money on the street, some people didn't come before, and now they are coming, after all, it is inconvenient to burn people who live nearby, and it is much more convenient to walk two more steps to the street.
Burning this is actually a very immoral act, because tomorrow morning the sanitation workers will spend more effort to clean it, but Sun Xiaoqiang was relieved when he saw that he was squatting diagonally opposite him and burning paper money was the old sanitation aunt in charge of this area.
There was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the stairs, Sun Xiaoqiang saw Liang Chuan walking down, didn't he go to rest?
"Boss, do you have any relatives, I'll help you burn it together." Sun Xiaoqiang smiled.
Whether or not he has that ability can't change Sun Xiaoqiang's nature of being beaten.
Liang Chuan stood by the threshold and did not walk out of the store.
Even, he didn't respond to Sun Xiao's question.
Sun Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, he saw that Liang Chuan's gaze was level, and he was squatting, obviously, Liang Chuan was not looking at himself.
so
What was he looking at?
Sun Xiaoqiang's curiosity rose again, but in the past, he was able to rely on his own ability to satisfy his curiosity to the fullest, but now, no.
Liang Chuan said that he had seen and said too much before, so he was retributed.
Sun Xiaoqiang disagreed,
You haven't been struck by lightning, where can I get retribution?
"Boss, what are you looking at?" asked Sun Xiaoqiang.
Because I can't see it, I'm more curious and want to know.
Liang Chuan glanced at Sun Xiaoqiang and said, "Take out all the shrouds that you were asked to enter the day before yesterday." ”
After speaking,
Liang Chuan also sat down on the threshold of the shop door, silently took out a cigarette, did not light it, just played with it in his hand.
Sun Xiaoqiang obediently went to the warehouse in the inner room and moved out a large box of shrouds and put them by Liang Chuan's side.
Liang Chuan opened the box, looked at it twice, and said to Sun Xiaoqiang:
"It's all burned. ”
"It's all burned?"
Sun Xiaoqiang was a little reluctant, although this store was not his, but he was basically in charge of sales for a while, and he also liked the feeling of doing business and selling money to make money like a squirrel accumulating pine cones for the winter.
Liang Chuan asked him to burn all the shrouds here, he really felt that it was too wasteful.
You are opening a shop, not a good hall.
"It's all burned, obedient. ”
Liang Chuan urged.
forthwith
Liang Chuan turned his head sharply and looked out of the house, a red light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and at the same time he said in a deep voice:
"Who let you in!"
"Huhuhu............ Huhuhu.................. Whoohoohoo.................."
Sun Xiaoqiang only felt that a gust of wind was blowing around him, and his hair was blown up.
He gritted his teeth,
Damn it
Why can't I see now!
There are some things that you may not cherish too much when you have them, and once you lose them, you feel uncomfortable.
Since there were many "guests" outside, Sun Xiaoqiang had no choice, so he took out two shrouds, went to the brazier and lit them, and then threw them on the ground in front of him.
The smoke and smell of the shroud burning are much stronger than burning paper money, but fortunately, there are paper burners over there, even TVs made of paper, and even paper houses, so Liang Chuan's burning here is not too exaggerated.
Two pieces of clothing burned in half,
Sun Xiaoqiang took out two more pieces and lit them in the brazier, and at the same time pretended to say: "Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one, all of them, all of them." ”
Wu Dahai once asked why Liang Chuan's shroud sold so well, and this is the reason.
Sun Xiaoqiang also noticed that on the floor of the shop, there were pieces of dark money, which were given by those "guests"? But can the money be spent?
Liang Chuan didn't say stop, Sun Xiaoqiang could only continue to burn, and he slowly thought about it, since the boss wants to make dead money, let the boss earn it, this can be regarded as opening up sales channels and expanding new markets, right?
Think about it in another way, Sun Xiaoqiang thinks that his boss is very powerful, no matter how powerful Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong are, can they sell things to ghosts?
The clothes began to burn faster and faster, and more and more dark money appeared on the floor of the store, and finally, Sun Xiaoqiang burned all the clothes in the box.
"It's all gone. ”
Liang Chuan, who had been sitting on the threshold of the shop, said.
"It's gone. Sun Xiaoqiang subconsciously thought he was asking himself.
"No, you can go. Liang Chuan said again.
Sun Xiaoqiang realized that Liang Chuan was not talking to him, and at the moment he had a great resentment in his heart about his lost ability.
Liang Chuan waited for a while,
Turning his head sideways to look at the shroud still hanging on the store shelves behind him,
Then he said: "This is the store that is ready to sell to the living, and there is nothing left for you, how will I open and do business tomorrow." ”
It seems that there are still "guests" who see that there are still shrouds on the shelves, and the guests who have not "bought" the clothes are reluctant to leave.
"If you don't go, then don't go. ”
Liang Chuan slowly stood up.
"Meow!"
A cat meow came from the second floor, and Pu'er stood on the balcony on the second floor looking down.
In a flash
Sun Xiaoqiang felt that the temperature around him had risen a lot, and the sense of depression and fog was gone, it seemed that they were all gone, Sun Xiaoqiang had long known that the cat was not simple, and he didn't think it was strange at this time.
At that moment, he first took the broom in the shop to roughly clean up the burning ashes outside, and when he returned to the shop, Liang Chuan was already sitting on a chair behind the counter, holding a teacup in his hand.
Sun Xiaoqiang glanced at the paper money on the ground, he wanted to sweep it all here with a broom, but he was reluctant to think about it, although it was a dark banknote, but he also burned out dozens of shrouds, so he couldn't end up with nothing, right?
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Xiaoqiang simply squatted down and picked up the dark coins on the ground one by one, and in the end, he sorted out a stack, and there were a lot of 10 pieces, 100 pieces, and even tens of millions.
"Boss, what's the use of this?"
"Pillow under your bed, it can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue, but it's a pity that you don't go to school now, otherwise bye-bye this before the exam or press this to sleep can bless you from failing the course;
At least you won't be caught cheating in the exam room. ”
Sun Xiaoqiang Nunu mouthed, noncommittal, but still put this stack of dark coins under his pillow, and only remembered it after putting it away, and asked, "Boss, do you want to pillow a little too?"
"I'm a little hungry, you go get some noodles. Liang Chuan said.
Sun Xiaoqiang smiled, and secretly said that Liang Chuan really regarded himself as a servant, but there was no way, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Sun Xiaoqiang still walked obediently to the kitchen.
"A little more. Liang Chuan reminded.
"Yo, do you have an appetite tonight?" Sun Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, but Liang Chuan didn't answer again, and Sun Xiaoqiang didn't ask much.
The noodles were still very simple, and after a while, the noodles were cooked, and Sun Xiaoqiang walked out with two bowls of noodles and two pairs of chopsticks, one bowl in front of Liang Chuan and the other in front of him.
Liang Chuan glanced at the noodles served in the big bowl, hesitated for a moment, and said to Sun Xiaoqiang, "Take a small bowl and help me hold a bowl." ”
"Don't you have a good appetite?" Sun Xiaoqiang stood up with some incomprehension, and went to the kitchen to get a small bowl and a bowl of noodles.
"Take another pair of chopsticks. ”
"Good. ”
Sun Xiaoqiang was also patient, and went back to get a pair of chopsticks.
Liang Chuan placed the small bowl in front of him, and then placed a pair of chopsticks flat on the first bowl of noodles.
Sun Xiaoqiang didn't understand it.
"Outside, there was a guest standing there, and he didn't leave. Liang Chuan said while eating noodles.
", who is so short-sighted?" Sun Xiaoqiang ate noodles quickly, and he was really hungry until now, a bowl of noodles was eaten quickly, and he subconsciously reached out to take the bowl of noodles that Liang Chuan was holding chopsticks.
"Smack. ”
The end of Liang Chuan's chopsticks knocked on the back of Sun Xiaoqiang's hand.
"Hiss ............"
Sun Xiaoqiang gasped and looked at Liang Chuan with some puzzlement, but he didn't swear words.
"Go to the shelf, choose a shroud that you think looks good, and burn it for him. ”
"Good. ”
Sun Xiaoqiang felt that the boss was weird tonight, but he still obediently got up and took down a pink shroud from the shelf, and when he was looking for a lighter, Sun Xiaoqiang complained a little:
"Boss, which blind guy is standing in the doorway?
Our inventory is burned and we are still staring at the clothes on our shelves, if you want me to say, you just swallowed him and pulled him down, this kind of thing that doesn't have long eyes, even if it has thick skin, and it is also thick skin when it is a ghost, and it is definitely not a good person when he was alive. ”
"Your mother. ”
