Chapter 36: A Man's Request
Uncle Wu looked at me and laughed, "Young people are curious, then I'll tell you, you come with me." "I was right behind Wu Bodian, and I saw a compass that connected to the lights in the house.
Wu Bo pointed to the compass and said: "This compass can sense a different magnetic field, the magnetic field of people and ghosts is different, when something unclean comes in, the needle of this compass will swing and connect to the lamp, so that you can feel something dirty coming in." In order not to disturb the ghosts, the compass is placed at the back of the store. ”
I'm doing this to prepare you. so as not to offend unclean things.
This night, I was a little nervous, I was worried that the man would come to buy things again, after all, I didn't know about him yesterday, but today I know, I actually did business with the ghost twice! The thought of this makes my scalp tingle.
Uncle Wu tied paper in the backyard, I was a little curious, so I went to watch, I wanted to learn some craft, paper is still very profitable, although tired, but things are expensive, such a paper boat sells for 300 yuan, a crane sells for 200 yuan, and a carriage sells for 300 yuan. These are all paper and bamboo paste, the cost is very low, but the sale is very expensive, I don't know why Uncle Wu sells so expensive, but Uncle Wu said, these things, this price, others can not buy, but absolutely not to reduce the price.
Wu Bozha paper man, different from others, he has words on his mouth, and he can't hear what he reads, Wu Bo is doing, and when he saw me coming in, he said: "I'll go back today to get some materials needed to tie paper, business has been good in the past two days, sell more." ”
I could only agree, and Uncle Wu left. Now I am alone in this building again, and I was going to close the store early, but Uncle Wu said that this store must be open until 12 o'clock in the evening, and it cannot be changed whether it is windy or rainy.
I don't know why Uncle Wu prescribed this, but I just did it. Uncle Wu walked for a while, and I was in the store, and at this time, the man from last time came again!
It's really going to be a good time! The last time I came, I wasn't too scared, after all, I wasn't sure at the time, but now it's different. After the man came in, his clothes were still wet, I was a little curious, it had been several days, and the clothes on his body had not changed, and the clothes had not dried!
The man's face was even paler than the other day, and when he came in, there was a black dog barking beside him, but suddenly it seemed to wilt, squeaked and whispered, and ran away quickly.
"Is it to buy a boat?" I asked, I looked behind me, the paper boat had been sold out, just two, Wu Bo came back to work to make the paper boat, but it was not done yet, go back to get the materials. Then he said, "I'm sorry, the boat has been sold." You can go to another house and see if there are any. "I thought about telling the man that there was no boat, and he must have left.
But the man had no intention of leaving, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here today to buy a boat, but to ask you to do me a favor." The man's voice is still like that, which makes people listen a little worried.
Although I pretended to be calm, I was a little panicked, and I just wanted to send the man away quickly. Although Uncle Wu told me that no matter who comes to buy things, I must receive them well, but I really don't want to deal with ghosts. The lights in the house were still flashing, and I was afraid that the lights would suddenly go out and I wouldn't be able to see anything, so I wouldn't dare to think about it!
I said to the man, "Help? I may not be able to help you, I'm just here to help other people look after the shop, at most an apprentice, nothing else. ”
The man said, "You can send me something, it's okay, it's a commission." So saying, he took out a few bills and laid them on the table, three in all.
Originally, I wanted to refuse, but when I saw that there was a commission and it was quite a lot, I asked, "What to give and to whom?" "I don't want to offend him, after all, it's not good for me to offend him, isn't it just to send something? And there are commissions.
Saying that, he took out a ring from his pocket and put it on the table, it was a women's ring, and he said, "You send this ring to Hutong Road, No. 73, Zhao Dan." ”
I already agreed, but I couldn't help it, so I said, "Okay, I'll send it for you." The man said slowly: "By the way, I will come to pick her up the day after tomorrow!" "I can only say yes.
The man said, "Thank you." Then he turned and left, but the whole time, his face was expressionless, and he could not see any joy or anger. The man wants to pick up people, people and ghosts have different paths, is he trying to pull others into the water? But now I have promised the man that if I don't send it, I can't think about the consequences.
After the man left, I looked at the time, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening, go and send it, since I agreed, I have to do it, just send something, it's not a big deal, soon I came to the address that the man said, I knocked on the door, the door was opened by a woman, I looked at this woman, I felt very familiar.
It was the woman in black clothes who saw the boat by the river that day, and she didn't know why she was crying by the river at that time. When she saw me, she looked a little surprised and asked me what I was doing with her this big night.
I took out the ring and handed it to her, she looked at it with a little curiosity, and said, "This is my ring, but the day before yesterday because of a quarrel, I already threw this ring into the river, where did you pick it up?" ”
I said it was given to me by a man, and at this time, I saw a wedding photo on their bedside, so I pointed to the man and said, "That's him." ”
The woman's face changed suddenly.
