Chapter X

Gu Bai was stunned.

"No wonder the shopkeeper is listless. ”

Newlywed Yan'er, it is inevitable to do more exercise, of course there is no energy during the day.

Hook shook his head, "No, I heard that his house is haunted, that's why he was tossed like this, and even died." ”

"Ghosts?"

Gu Bai became interested.

The hook lowered his voice, "Everyone said that the eldest lady who died instead of the shopkeeper is back." ”

Three years ago, the shopkeeper had lung disease, and he was helpless to invite a famous doctor in Yuhang, and bluntly said that his life would not be long.

He had two young sons, the eldest of whom was just walking and the younger of whom was still an infant.

Once the shopkeeper died, the whole family lost its support, and his wife was in tears every day.

Until one day, the old lady got a way from somewhere, saying that she could go to the City God Temple to borrow life for the patient.

So, after feeding the two children and cleaning the house, his wife left the two children and went to the City God Temple.

She prayed in the temple and said that she would lend her life to the treasurer so that he could raise his two sons to adulthood, marry and have children.

But there is one condition, that is, the annual shopkeeper is not allowed to remarry.

The shopkeeper also agreed at that time.

Gu Bai was surprised when he heard this, thinking that this is also possible?

It turned out to be true.

Since that prayer, the old lady has become thinner and thinner, and the lung disease of the young shopkeeper has gradually improved.

Within three days, the old lady passed away, and the shopkeeper was in good spirits, not at all like the appearance of recovering from a serious illness.

Therefore, the neighbors all said that the life of the old shopkeeper was given by the old lady.

The reason why the young lady did this, because she had two sons, is estimated to have love, but the old shopkeeper will continue the string again within three years.

"If I were an old lady, I would come back to him. ”

Hook muttered.

She raised her head and asked Gu Bai, "Are all you men like this?"

"People who generalize tend to be superficial. Gu Bai smiled disdainfully, "And..."

He glanced at the hook and pointed at himself, "If your son-in-law were such a person, he would have lived a long life now." ”

The hook cannot be refuted.

"Also, don't be you men, you men, you are not a woman. Gu Bai corrected her.

Hook straightened up, "What do you mean, I'm still a man?"

"No, no. ”

Gu Bai shook his hand, "There are three kinds of people in this world, men, women, and you, hook." ”

Hook felt that his heart was pricked again, and he could still be a master and servant.

They also said that they were going back to the shopkeeper.

The eldest lady has only been dead for three years to continue the string, the annual shopkeeper is not kind, and it takes three years for the children of the academy to keep filial piety.

"Who is the one who died, the little lady who is the old shopkeeper?" Gu Bai asked.

Hook shook his head, it was not the little lady who died, but a monk and a Taoist priest.

"Taoist priests and monks?" Gu Bai was puzzled.

I think it was the shopkeeper who invited him to exorcise ghosts, but why wasn't he from the Demon Division?

The Demon Suppression Division has the responsibility of suppressing demons and exorcising ghosts, and has the obligation to bless the peace of the people.

Hook has a knack for gossip, and she makes it clear.

"It is rumored that the Demon Division knows about the change of life of the old lady, and looks down on what the shopkeeper does and disdains him. ”

Gu Bai didn't believe it.

It's just rumor.

If the town demon division watches people put down dishes, if something goes wrong, the county magistrate can't spare them.

After all, for the county magistrate, whether it is political affairs or cultivation, it is his duty to ensure the safety of the people.

There is absolutely no reason for the county order to sit idly by and watch the people under its rule being haunted by ghosts.

There's a mystery to this.

But Gu Bai couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to.

After lunch, Gu Bai copied the book until the evening.

For five hours, as long as he keeps working hard for this time every day, Gu Bai's life span will increase by one day.

After coming back today, Gu Bai may not have enough time, but counting the hard work in the mountain temple in the morning, it will be enough.

As soon as he put down the pen, sent someone to invite him.

Gu Bai went to the appointment with a hook.

The are not very drunk, and after nightfall, almost all of the people who stay in the wine cellar are neighbors.

When Gu Bai entered, many people greeted him, and some people asked Gu Bai to sit down and drink, but Gu Bai refused.

"I've got someone to ask for a drink today. Gu Bai smiled and nodded.

The people at the next table also pulled the people who invited the wine, and pointed to the, "Shopkeeper Gu wants to drink, that's not a matter of words." ”

"Oh, yes, yes. ”

"I almost forgot about Shopkeeper Xu. The crowd laughed.

Because they are neighbors, most of them are familiar, so the atmosphere in the wine is good, chatting, boxing, and very lively.

There is only one place.

In the corner of the seat, the shopkeeper was drinking wine alone, cup after glass.

Behind him, a space flashed, and the drinkers pointed at the back of the shopkeeper.

"It's coming. "come out.

She hurriedly invited Gu Bai to the long table next to the counter, and asked the cook behind her to hurry up and serve the food.

The fifth sister-in-law also kept staring at Gu Bai.

As soon as the wine was served here, the fifth sister-in-law led her daughter to walk in with a food box, and before she could open it, the smell of fish in her nose had already made Gu Bai hungry.

He had paid the money, so he was unceremonious, beckoned everyone to sit down, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate.

The fifth sister-in-law next to her led her daughter, and the who were sitting with her kept looking for words to chat with him, and Gu Bai only nodded.

Gu Bai has been in the mountain temple for so many days, he is really greedy, and he can't bother to talk to him at all.

In the end, because the fifth sister-in-law wanted to match Gu Bai and her daughter, the words were full of words that matched the two of them, which made the unhappy.

So, the two choked each other, and even brought out some old things to imply that the other party was not good.

The two of them were arguing with each other, which was convenient for Gu Bai, and he didn't need to point his head, just bury his head and eat.

The daughter of the fifth sister-in-law held her cheeks with her hands and looked at Gu Bai stupidly.

"You eat it too. Gu Bai greeted her.

The fifth sister-in-law's fish soup is really nothing, it is the most delicious fish dish Gu Bai has ever eaten in this life.

"It's beautiful and delicious, and the five girls are full when they look at you. "The hook hand is not slow at all.

"According to you, you must not die every day. Gu Bai sighed again, "I'm miserable." ”

"What are you miserable about?"

The hook bit the fish's head and looked up at Gu Bai, not knowing where his words came from.

"Looking at you all day, I'm going to starve to death one day. ”

The hook covered her chest, and she now felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.

Syllable!

While they were eating, the shopkeeper in the corner stood up and threw his glass, suppressing the noise of the inn.

The wine was silent all of a sudden.

The fifth sister-in-law and the stopped arguing and looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

"Say it again!"

The shopkeeper pointed to the drinkers at the next table, looking drunk and angry.

The guest was the shopkeeper of the teahouse on the street, and the neighbors called him Lao Le on weekdays.

Lao Le was pointed at by the shopkeeper of the year, a little timid, and pretended to be confused: "I, what did I say." ”

"Dare to say something that you don't dare to recognize!"

It turned out that when he saw that the shopkeeper was drinking stuffy wine, Lao Le discussed the affairs of the shopkeeper's family with the drinkers at the same table.

mentioned his continuation, Lao Le blurted out a sentence of "ungrateful, something", but unfortunately was listened to by the drunken shopkeeper.

Lao Le was pointed at and scolded by the shopkeeper in public like this, and he couldn't hold his face and was angry.

"Why, dare not let people say that he lives with the life of a lady, and he is not a thing if he turns his head and continues the strings!"

The shopkeeper was furious, and staggered up the wine jar, "I'll kill you!"

Lao Le also had three points of alcohol, and got up the bench to meet him, "I'm eliminating harm for the people!"

Hey, hey.

The crowd hurriedly got up and went to stop them.

Among them, there are many shopkeepers who block the year, and few who block the old music.

"Let go, let go of me. The shopkeeper was drunk, "If you dare to laugh at me, I will beat you to death." ”

With him lifting the wine jar, he completely offended everyone, so he pushed and shoved it into a pot of porridge.

"Stop, stop!"

squeezed to the front, trying to silence the crowd.

However, Lao Le's mouth was unstoppable, and the shopkeeper couldn't stop it, and it was not easy to persuade him.

In the end, Gu Bai, who used and had a short mouth, stepped forward and dragged the shopkeeper out of the wine yard, which subsided.
