Chapter 15: Gnomes
Turning out, we got into a taxi.
I couldn't tell where I was going, but after thinking about it, I still said something.
"I think it's better to talk about it."
Chen Jiayan took his gaze back from the window and turned his head to look at me: "Say it." ”
It was the first time I had been so close to a girl, the streetlights shining through the car window on her face, her fair face covered with a warm yellow, and her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"You say."
As soon as she urged me like this, I came to my senses and scolded myself: It's really fucking useless.
"Who the hell are you?"
Chen Jiayan leaned on the glass of the car and was slightly stunned: "Didn't I tell you, the mortuary." ”
"Except for this."
"It's gone."
I immediately asked rhetorically, "What's the matter with half of my peers?" ”
Chen Jiayan looked out the window and patted the driver's chair: "Master, stop." ”
When I got out of the car, I looked around and saw that the whole street was empty.
On both sides of the road are funeral supply shops, each carrying black and white lanterns, and the wind is blowing.
It looks a bit seeping, but there's nothing strange about it.
Chen Jiayan looked around and said in a low voice: "I don't know any yin and yang techniques, but I can feel yin qi." ”
"Every trace of yin qi can be felt."
My curiosity was piqued, and I had never heard of such an ability to grow up so big.
There is a saying in the Xuanmen industry called opening the eyes of heaven.
In fact, everyone has Tianyan, and children are under 12 years old, and they can indeed see the souls wandering in the world.
When he is 12 years old and his life is complete, Tianyan will naturally be closed.
If you have to open the eyes of heaven, you can only use willow leaves dipped in the child's urine and rub them on your forehead and eyebrows, and you can see ghosts within a few minutes.
As for this ability to perceive yin qi, it is even more unheard of.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Chen Jiayan pouted behind me: "There is one squatting behind you." ”
After that, she closed her eyes lightly and said in a low voice: "The resentment is quite big, I guess I am a starving ghost." ”
"If you don't believe me, you can try."
I looked back at the empty intersection, hesitated, and asked, "What does this have to do with making money?" ”
"Let's be clear, I have a way to make money, but I don't have your skills, I can't make this money. So, I need someone who has real skills. ”
I stared into her eyes for a long time, and there was no dodge in her eyes.
However, I still asked: "Liu Shan's years in the funeral home are not short, right?" You don't go to him, and in turn trust a stranger who has just arrived. ”
It's not that I have to think of people as bad, it's that there are a lot of doubts about it.
"You're different."
I laughed dryly: "Because I'm short of money? ”
Chen Jiayan shook his head decisively: "You are short of money, but you don't cheat people for money." ”
Her words made my heart relax, and my tight guard was broken a lot.
"Let's go."
Chen Jiayan didn't say anything more, but led the way ahead.
Finally, when she arrived at a funeral supply store, she paused, looked around, and plucked a white chrysanthemum from the flower pot in front of the door.
"Squeak."
Some of the broken wooden doors were opened, and we walked in one after the other.
This shop is not very big, at a cursory glance, it is only about 20 square meters, with an old gas bulb hanging over its head, and the dim light is sprinkled on the paper figure by the wall, which looks really uncomfortable.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind me, startling me.
I looked around, and there was no one behind me.
I looked down and was so frightened that I hurriedly took a few steps back, and this man was standing next to my lap!
This man was no taller than my thighs, and he was dressed in a red shirt with green flowers on a red background.
I thought it was a child, but when he looked up, I saw that he had a half-foot beard, a wrinkled forehead like a deep groove, and a scar running through his left eye, making it impossible to tell whether he was open or closed.
This should be a dwarf, right?
On the contrary, Chen Jiayan was very calm, bent down, knelt down on one knee in front of the dwarf, and inserted the chrysanthemum he had just picked into his pocket.
The dwarf looked at the flower on his chest, and then looked up at me: "Bringing outsiders here?" ”
His mouth was as if there was a mouthful of old phlegm in his throat, and it was a little sticky in his hoarseness.
Chen Jiayan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, this is my own person." ”
The dwarf didn't speak again, but held out a child-sized hand.
Chen Jiayan hurriedly took off the filial piety cloth on his arm and handed it to him respectfully with both hands.
The dwarf straddled Luo Huan'er's legs, slipped under the counter, took out a brush, and stood with blood-red ink, muttering something on the black cloth.
A moment later, the dwarf stood on the counter and wrapped the filial piety cloth around Chen Jiayan's left arm.
However, there was a deep meaning in his eyes, a deep meaning that I couldn't understand.
Chen Jiayan looked at him with a frown and pursed his lips as if he had been immobilized, and the two of them looked at each other silently.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly shook back, nodded at the dwarf, and pulled me to get up and leave.
I made these two people confused, what kind of song is this?
When I went out, I couldn't help but ask, "What were you two doing just now?" ”
Chen Jiayan checked the backpack on his body and looked ahead: "Xiaobu is wrapped on the left, which is double the commission." ”
"Double?"
Chen Jiayan turned his head to look at me: "If you have anything, I think I should tell you directly." ”
"The two of us can probably earn 20,000 yuan this time, and when we're done, we'll be half of each of us."
"The commission is doubled, the risk is doubled, and if you feel scared, ......"
20,000 yuan, which is my salary for several years, and in the face of poverty and famine, the risk is not worth mentioning.
Money is so important to me!
I barely hesitated and said yes: "Okay!" But you'll have to let me prepare. ”
Chen Jiayan looked at his watch: "You have to hurry, if you can't get it before seven o'clock tomorrow morning, we won't be able to earn this money." ”
I wondered, "What kind of rules are these?" ”
She looked back at the funeral parlor and whispered, "Whoever has made an evil mess will come to him." If it is not done before seven o'clock the next day, the list will change hands, and the money will naturally not be earned. ”
Without waiting for me to speak, she urged again: "Don't ask, there is a chance to tell you, you can prepare things first." ”
