Chapter 16 Lifelong mistakes in the Spring Hall
In the silence of the night, the cry was terrible and chilling.
The shopkeeper once again made amends, put incense on it, burned paper, and said, "I did almost everything." β
But on the third day, the ghost still came.
This time, they finally saw the ghost's appearanceβhalf of her face was rotten, and half of her face was white and terrifying.
The shopkeeper was immediately frightened and fainted.
"I'm sure she's not a big lady. "The shopkeeper took a sip of wine.
The fact is not a big lady either.
After he woke up, the young lady told him that the eldest lady borrowed her birthday and took the path of the judge of the Yin Division.
Their transaction was also done in the presence of the judges.
The judge has an obligation to ensure that the transaction is carried out fairly.
Because once there is a breach of contract, if the young lady sues the Yin Law Division, he will never recover.
Now the shopkeeper has broken his promise, which is equivalent to breaking the deal, and now the evil ghost is sent by the judge to take back the life of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper didn't want to die.
So, he went to the ancient town in the south of the city and asked for the master who gave him the idea of the eldest lady back then.
The master charged him 1,000 taels of silver, but he could only guarantee him from dying for half a month.
Now, the female ghost stayed at his house all day, counting the days so that she could take his life.
Tomorrow will be the last day, and by the time the rooster crows at dawn, he will have to die.
"Die at dawn?" Gu Bai was surprised.
He looked around, "The female ghost isn't here, is she?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Don't worry, if she comes, you can see it." β
The hook approached Gu Bai, "Hey, this ghost sounds disgusting." β
The shopkeeper glanced at her, "Don't worry, she is only half of her ugly face, and you are still above her." β
"Hush. Hook rolled his eyes, "There is a big difference between disgusting and ugly." β
"Is it big?"
Gu Bai felt that the hook had been mastered.
Now they know why the drunken shopkeeper didn't come home.
It was a torment to go home and face the evil spirits waiting to die.
When the story was over, the three of them were silent, only the oil lamps flickered.
After another glass of wine, the shopkeeper put down the wine glass and laughed at himself, "You can't help this favor, can you?"
"Do you have a chance to survive if you run away now?" Gu Bai asked him.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
The judge hooked his soul and asked for his life, how could he escape as an ordinary person.
Then Gu Bai and they can't help much.
Still, there is still some consolation, "What if the hook can scare the evil spirit away?"
The shopkeeper knew that this was a word of comfort.
"At this point, I'm at ease. He stood up, "Before I die, I'll clean up the mess I've made." β
He leaned over and cleaned up the book.
Regarding the story of the shopkeeper in the year, Gu Bai had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know where to start.
The only thing they can do is to spend a long night with the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper cleaned up, Gu Bai took another jar of wine, and the shopkeeper drank it silently, waiting for the arrival of death.
Cup after cup, unconsciously drunk, asleep.
When the sun rises, the restaurants and teahouses on the street open their doors, and the stalls are also set up, and the shouting and shouting continues, and it is lively all at once.
The commotion outside the street reached the bookstore.
Gu Bai raised his head from the table and looked outside, "It's dawn." β
He kicked the hook, "It's time for business." β
The hook lay on the mat, sat up in a daze, and lay down in a daze.
Gu Bai was about to give her another kick, when he saw the shopkeeper lying opposite.
"Old age, old age, dead no. "He kicked the shopkeeper.
"Huh?" replied the shopkeeper vaguely.
Gu Bai was a little sober, "Hey, you're kidding us, how can you still be alive if you don't die, are you cheating?"
"What?" the shopkeeper looked up.
"Why are you still alive?"
The shopkeeper was sober.
He glanced at his body and couldn't believe it, "I, I'm still alive?"
He asked Gu Bai, "Why?"
Gu Bai was inexplicable, "How do I know that you didn't lie to us, right?"
"Are you joking with your own life?" asked the shopkeeper rhetorically.
"That's..."Gu Bai turned his head to look at the hook.
He kicked the hook, "The devil won't be really scared by you, will he?"
After that, didn't the ghost who hooked the soul and asked for his life dare not come?
Gu Bai couldn't imagine that the hook really warded off evil spirits.
The hook is inexplicable.
Bang Bang Bang!
As the three of them looked at each other, there was a knock on the door outside the library.
"Gu shopkeeper, Gu shopkeeper. β
Listening to the voice, it seems to be a drunken.
"It's coming. β
Gu Bai stood up and walked towards the door of the store.
"Is the shopkeeper here?" asked the anxiously.
"Here, what's wrong?" Gu Bai opened the door.
pushed the door in, not daring to admire Gu Bai's face.
She shouted at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Nian, let's go, your little lady is in the City God Temple." β
The shopkeeper looked confused, "She went to the City God Temple to do it... It's broken!"
The shopkeeper's face changed greatly, and he didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, so he grabbed the door and ran towards the north.
Only then did take care of Gu Bai, "Shopkeeper Gu, what did you do last night, you have dark circles under your eyes, why don't you accompany your sister to make up for your sleep?"
"Ahem. Gu Bai was choked.
are getting more and more affectionate now.
"No, no, I'll go and see the shopkeeper. Gu Bai left in a hurry.
"Wait for me. followed.
Hook looked at her back, "are getting more and more, but it's okay this way, Childe's unwashed socks are marketable." β
The temple is at the north end of the street, in an open space.
This temple is rarely visited on weekdays, and the incense is only flourishing during festivals or temple fairs.
But at this time, there were many people outside the temple.
The neighbors are all there.
When Gu Bai came to the City God Temple, the shopkeeper had already rushed in.
"No!"
From time to time, the temple resounded with the heart-rending cry of the shopkeeper.
"Let one go, let one go. β
Gu Bai pushed away the neighbors with difficulty and squeezed into the City God Temple.
In the main hall of the City God Temple, the shopkeeper sat on the ground, holding a little lady in his arms, tears in his eyes.
On the incense table of the City God Temple, there are four incense sticks, which are about to burn out at this time.
The answer is imminent:
The reason why the shopkeeper didn't die was because his newly married lady lent him his life.
"Why, why!" roared the shopkeeper.
The little lady still has a breath of air.
She touched the face of the shopkeeper of the year, and her tone was intermittent, "Because, because I like it." β
Chuntang remembers the first time they met, and they only met and got together.
If you don't think about it for a day, you can save your eyebrows.
The little lady's eyebrows and eyes are smiling, very beautiful.
She was dressed in red makeup, as if she was in the cave room on a candle night, and at this time she was blooming brilliantly in the City God Temple.
She stared at the shopkeeper affectionately, "You, you are the only person in this world who is good to me." β
If someone had to die, she hoped it would be herself.
Gu Bai looked at the shopkeeper.
It's strange, the shopkeeper has no talent, no appearance, how can he let two women be willing to die for him.
He Gu Bai is already handsome, crying ghosts and gods, making people fascinated, not seeing each other for a day, as if they have been in three autumns, and he is not so sure.
Evil, too evil.
When the neighbors saw the ugliness and avoided it, the hook walked in easily, stood beside Gu Bai, and was stunned when they saw this scene.
"I, the condition I made is that I hope you live in peace. β
She straightened the collar of the shopkeeper, "You are not allowed to miss it secretly, you are not allowed to look back, and you are not allowed to live the life you want." β
From now on, there will never be an evil spirit to haunt her sweetheart.
Even if he is a judge of the Yin Division, he must be blessed with peace and protect him from dying.
It's all worth it.
The little lady finally smiled at the shopkeeper, and it was short-lived, and her hand hung down from her neckline.
The shopkeeper couldn't cry anymore.
