Chapter 58: The Old Woman's House
The old woman has a withered face, a sallow complexion, and looks like she has no blood, and she has been in this shop for a long time, and she can meet anyone, so she probably knows that this old woman is not human.
It's the middle of the night now, and when I come to buy candles, something is wrong, and now it's different from before, in previous years, there were frequent power outages, and there would be power outages almost once a week, especially in the village, but now, there is basically no power outage, and the shops basically don't sell candles. In the paper shop, you can also buy candles.
Of course, there are very few people who buy candles, and many people don't buy candles once for several years, so I asked, "Auntie, what kind of candles do you buy?" ”
"White ones," said the old woman, tremblingly, as I took a bundle of white candles from the back cabinet and placed them on the table, and said, "Buy a few and take them yourself." ”
I didn't say anything else, Uncle Wu explained that when you encounter such a ghost to buy something, don't ask more, they can take whatever they buy, just give it according to the price, and there is a price on it.
I listened to Uncle Wu's words, and at this time, the old woman drew three candles and said, "I want three." How much does this candle cost? ”
I looked at the price on the list, it was written for 100 yuan a piece, and when I saw the price on the list, I couldn't believe it, usually the candle is only a few dollars a piece, and it is sold for 100 yuan in this paper shop. I feel that Uncle Wu is really a little dark.
But I can't care too much, after all, I'm just looking at the store, how much Uncle Wu sells, I can sell it as much as I want, but after I finished talking about the price, the old woman was not surprised, so she slowly took out three banknotes from her pocket and put them on the table, I looked at them, they were three hundred yuan, and then put them back in the drawer. I know that these 300 yuan are dark coins, and they will become dark coins later, but it doesn't matter, someone will come and take them back.
Shen Ling was beside him, and he probably felt that this old woman was not an ordinary person, so he didn't dare to speak, just watched quietly from the side.
The old woman took her things, and then walked slowly outside, feeling that her body was very light, and although she walked slowly, it seemed like she was floating.
After the old woman left, Shen Lingcai said to me: "The lady who came just now, isn't she human!" Shen Ling's voice was very small, for fear that the old woman who had already walked out would hear it.
Looking at Shen Ling's curious appearance, I wanted to show it and said, "You guessed it, it's really not a person, but when you open a paper shop, you have to receive any kind of customer." ”
Shen Ling continued: "I feel that the old lady is quite rich, the candle you sold is a hundred yuan a piece, and she doesn't bargain, and she buys it without blinking her eyes." ”
I smiled and said, "Maybe it's the children of the yang world, and she burns a lot of money." When I said this, Shen Ling patted his head and said, "Then we always feel short of money to spend now, isn't it that the people above haven't burned money for us!" ”
Listening to Shen Ling's words, I was stunned for a moment, and almost got in! Said: "Don't talk nonsense, we'll be on top, okay!" Shen Ling smiled and said, "Just kidding." ”
This quirky girl!
However, Shen Ling's words still made me think for a moment, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came out of the door. "Young man! Can I ask you for a favor? "It sounded like it was coming from underground. While I was thinking about it, this sudden sound was really frightening.
I hurriedly turned my head and saw that it was the old man who had just bought the candle! Why is the old man here again! What else? I'm a little worried, if the ghost comes to buy something, it's no problem, and I don't ask if there are more, but I still have to be cautious about finding someone to help, this kind of thing, after all, helping the ghost is not a good errand!
I asked, "Auntie, what's the matter, I'll see if I can help." "I'd better give myself some leeway, in case I can't help. The eldest lady walked over to this side, and she was very close to me.
I instantly felt a chill, even though it was summer, but I still felt the cold. The old woman looked at me and said, "Can you send me back?" It's dark, my eyes are not very good, I just bought a candle, but the wind blows and it goes out, and I still can't see clearly! ”
When the old woman said this, I thought to myself, light a candle and walk, of course it will be extinguished! No matter how bad it is, you can light a lantern. Of course, I didn't say that.
The thinking of ghosts and people is completely different, and they are not people from the same world, so naturally many people have no way to communicate, and the old woman may have other secrets.
At this time, the old woman took out three pieces of money from her pocket, put them on the table, and said, "Of course, you don't need to help in vain, this money is a blessing, my home is very close, not far away." ”
Hearing this, I looked at the money on the table, I was a little moved, who let me not save any money over the years, if I earned the three hundred yuan, it was the money I earned with my personal help, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Wu, there is no need to keep accounts, this money is in my own pocket.
But the more important reason is that I don't dare to offend this old woman, generally when I encounter this situation, I don't mess with it, I can help it, if I can't help, just run, anyway, don't be tough, this is what Uncle Wu taught me when I looked at the store.
I said to the old woman, "Okay, no problem, I'll send you." The old woman's expressionless face showed a hint of a smile. Thank you, lad! The old woman said, but the smile on her face was fleeting.
I stood up and was about to go to see off the old man, when Shen Ling pulled my clothes and signaled me not to go, I smiled at Shen Ling and said, "It's okay, it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing." Only then did Shen Ling let go.
