Chapter 58: The Frontier
“...... To tell you the truth, there have been cases before, and the guests who live here claim to have seen ghosts, but ...... But we haven't seen it before, so we thought they were just talking nonsense and cheating the house money......"
The shopkeeper of the post station hid at the door, telling his grievances from afar.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiaozhou squatted in front of the bronze mirror, and he still had the heart to ponder the strangeness in the mirror.
If it were him, he would have been frightened a long time ago.
Guests who have stayed in this room before often say that they have seen ghosts. But when he came to check, there was nothing.
Therefore, he thought that those people were deceiving him and wanted to get the money back.
This time, it was to make the little guy collide.
After listening to the description, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he saw that the woman who had just been almost "eaten" by the ghost still stayed in the room without changing her face, checking something.
"You mean, this place has been haunted for a long time?"
Zhu Xiaozhou grasped the key point.
The thing came out of the bronze mirror, and was shocked by her yellow charm, and hid back in the bronze mirror.
It looks like it's related to the bronze mirror.
She asked the shopkeeper, "Where did this bronze mirror come from?" ”
"This ......" the shopkeeper said, as if he meant to conceal it.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiaozhou did not continue to ask, and guessed that there was another inside story.
The little guy attached himself to the shopkeeper's ear and said that when the female ghost pounced on Zhu Xiaozhou, Zhu Xiaozhou surrendered him. The shopkeeper was shocked and immediately begged Zhu Xiaozhou to help get rid of the female ghost.
so that they can continue to operate this station with peace of mind.
Zhu Xiaozhou was idle, and suddenly became interested when he saw this scene, "...... It's not that hard to get rid of the female ghost, but—"
She rubbed her fingers together, begging for favors.
Although the banshee in the mirror has a demonic spirit, she has no anger, and the shopkeeper can't even tell whether it is a demon or a ghost, but he deliberately conceals it.
Obviously, I know something inside, but I don't dare to explain it. In this, there is definitely something that cannot be done for outsiders......
I can't say, but I provoked which woman and failed her, and I turned into a banshee to find trouble for him after looking for a short time.
The shopkeeper suddenly said, "Oh! Yes, yes, yes...... Rest assured, the benefits are indispensable for your ......"
As he spoke, he took out two knife coins from his sleeves and stuffed them into Zhu Xiaozhou's hand.
Zhu Xiaozhou frowned and glanced at it with disgust, although it was a serious thing, it was too far from what she thought.
She slipped the knife back to her boss and sighed.
"Alas—I was thinking of helping you, but it suddenly occurred to me that I had something to do lately, and it wouldn't be worth the delay."
Just a little money, and call it Hanako.
The shopkeeper nodded yes, hurriedly married some more money, wrapped it into a small bag and stuffed it to her. flattered, "How can I let you work in vain, you can rest assured, I will never treat you badly." ”
This is the ......
Zhu Xiaozhou took it in his hand and weighed it.
Barely make do.
Then he put the money away, returned to the mirror, stretched out his hand, took out a sandalwood from his bag, lit it, and stood in front of the mirror.
The green smoke that came out of it drifted into the mirror and disappeared.
Zhu Xiaozhou took out a ball of thread, searched around, tied the end of the ball of thread to the pillar in the room, and stepped on the dressing table with the ball in his hand-
"What are you?" The shopkeeper is unknown.
"I'll see what it is." After Zhu Xiaozhou finished speaking, he got into the bronze mirror.
People, gone.
The shopkeeper and the little servant rushed over, stared with wide eyes, and groped for the bronze mirror......
But isn't this just an ordinary bronze mirror?
How did she get in?!
The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and looked at the little guy in disbelief, only to feel a chill down his spine.
"Zhu Xiaozhou." Bai Yuan rushed over, but saw the shopkeeper and the servant in the room, but Zhu Xiaozhou was the only one missing.
What about people?
The little guy reacted and pointed straight into the mirror.
Bai Yuan hurried over and walked to the bronze mirror—
Demonic spirit.
"How much money did you give her?" He asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper stretched out his five fingers, and his heart was bleeding.
"That's a lot." With his understanding of Zhu Xiaozhou, Bai Yuan could probably think that since Zhu Xiaozhou took the money and entered the world in the bronze mirror, he must have seen something.
"Don't worry, that sister is so good!" The little girl said confidently, "The female ghost just now has come behind her, and she will beat the female ghost away at once, and she will definitely be able to catch the female ghost!" ”
Terrible?
Bai Yuan was careless, and when he took Zhu Xiaozhou to stay here, he didn't check every part of the room.
Unexpectedly, there is such a bronze mirror in this room.
Zhu Xiaozhou entered the world in the bronze mirror, it was dark at first, and when the light gradually brightened, she finally saw the surrounding environment clearly.
Actually—
Back in front of the post house?!
Stand still and look left and right.
There are only a few subtle places that can be seen to be slightly different from the post station where they stayed later.
But in general, it's almost exactly the same.
He moved the satchel on his side behind him and walked into the post station. "Anyone?"
"The guest officer wants to stay in the hotel?" Behind the counter, a woman suddenly stood out.
Coarse clothes are not particularly beautiful, but their eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and they are also eye-catching.
But—
Zhu Xiaozhou was vigilant, she recognized the woman in front of her as the banshee in the mirror!
The banshee was unaware, and seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she thought of something, "Don't worry, the shop is very safe, just tell me something." ”
She said that her name was Yu Niang, and she was the only daughter of the shopkeeper of this station. The father and daughter depend on each other for their lives and make a living from this station.
The only daughter?
Zhu Xiaozhou confirmed with her again, only to know that she really had no brothers. But Zhu Xiaozhou has seen the shopkeeper, and he has also blackmailed a lot of money from the shopkeeper, and he is very sure that the shopkeeper is a man......
Isn't it, business was difficult later, and their father and daughter sold this station?
Before I could think about it, I heard that someone had come to the door again.
As soon as I turned around, I saw -
Shopkeeper.
No, it's not the post shopkeeper at this time, it's the one who asked Zhu Xiaozhou to catch ghosts later!
This is...... What's going on?
Zhu Xiaozhou was a little confused.
The shopkeeper who came in later fled to this point and was penniless.
He claimed that his name was Lu Yi.
Ask Yu Niang to take her in for two days and give her a full meal.
Yu Niang couldn't bear it, so she took him to the firewood room in the backyard and brought him some food. He just stayed in the post station, and Yu Niang's father was worried, thinking that Yu Niang should not leave such a man in the backyard.
Lu Yi stayed at the post station like this.
