At that time, I stepped into Jincheng with the expectation of Jincheng.

Leaning in front of the car window, looking at the green wheat fields on the side of the road, and a few houses dotted in the distance, the smoke of cooking smoke rising is still my favorite smell.

I found a little corner of the alley, shady, narrow, damp, not suitable for people to live in, next to a large residential area, the master once told me that where there is a market, there is a livelihood. The landlord asked me why I wanted to rent here, and I prevaricated because the rent was cheap. In fact, there is also a little cheap reason, after all, when you first enter Jincheng, you are entangled in a meager body, but it is mainly because you need such a prosperous place to hunt ghosts and eliminate demons.

I put up signs: exorcism, feng shui, fortune telling, and child fright.

For fortune-telling, it is purely my use of money to make a living, and the others are my housekeeping skills. The master said that no matter what others say about us, the sense of responsibility as a ghost hunter will not change, how can anyone who does our job not be scolded, as long as we do our own thing, sweep away the world's ghosts and ghosts, this is the meaning of our life. In fact, this is the case for all walks of life. These words have been deeply engraved in my bones since I was a child.

The days went by day by day, the business was intermittent, and the things that came to me to do were trivial things: the left eyelid was always jumping; Always late for work; The children are not married, etc...... It doesn't really work with me.

So when I was bored, I always climbed on the small stone platform at the mouth of the alley, smoked alone, and thought about life, thinking about Cuicui's little face, and thinking about letting the master continue to scold me.

It's kind of a past to live in Jincheng.

......

On this day, an uninvited guest came, wearing a trench coat and an angular face. As soon as he entered, he looked back and forth, probing around.

I asked him what he was going to do, and he ignored me, going around the room and even going deeper into the bedroom.

I asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, I'm just looking." He said casually.

"Are you here to see Feng Shui, or are you having any problems at home?"

"No, it's just a lot of life. I've been too busy at work lately. He told me with a smile on his face.

"Oh, what do you do?"

"Police."

He stared at me with resolute eyes, and I was directly stunned.

He leaned back on the sofa and said, "This land is too remote to do business." ”

I looked helpless and didn't know how to answer him. I think someone must have reported it before I met the police. In the eyes of outsiders, I am a charlatan, and it is reasonable for the police to catch the liar.

"I'll pour you a glass of water first." I said intermittently.

"No need." He excused himself.

I was speechless for a while, thinking that I had never encountered this situation with my master in the countryside back then, and I was still yin and yang between the words, and I was tinkering with yin and yang! The people in the city are really not authentic!

I lowered my head, thinking about how to respond to him.

"Don't be too nervous, help me take a look." He said with a smile.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and plucked up the courage to say to him: "I work for people and collect money, you want me, you can't control me, right?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not arresting you, what are you afraid of" he replied to me lightly.

"Let's just talk about it, comrade police, there must be a reason why you came to my little broken shop, I'm not a law-abiding person, I'll change what I did wrong, don't embarrass me here."

"I got a report that you cheated money."

I suddenly thought of that person last time, because he wanted to rely on not giving money, so he reported it?

"I definitely don't!"

"If there is any, you don't count."

Yes, it really didn't work, so I immediately took out my notebook and showed it to him. This habit was learned from the master, he said, we like to pay a lot of debts in this industry, remember things to talk about.

"Yes, this person often comes to us to report cases like this, and we can't help it."

"It's okay, you've worked hard."

He looked at me, didn't speak, got up and left.

Before leaving, he made a sentence: "My name is Yang Yunhai, the law and order here are chaotic, you can call if you have something, but if you really dare to deceive people, I will not be polite." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a note on the coffee table in front of the sofa with a phone number written on it.

The next day just after dawn, a curly-haired aunt came and knocked on my door, and I yawned and opened the door. At first sight, I knew that she must be a rich woman, and I am generally happy to receive such people, they don't care how much it costs, and I have a strong way to do things. Although it is said that everyone should be treated equally, it is normal for people to be reasonable.

"Hello auntie, please be seated." I went to give me a warm welcome and smiled.

"I said, young man, you are so young, can I believe you?" He looked up and down for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm going deep." I still smiled.

"How much?" My aunt started with a question and confused me. I was still too young to be there, and I didn't know how to answer.

"Auntie, don't worry, let's talk about you first." I still try to keep smiling as best I can.

"I've been unlucky lately, just a few days ago, the supermarket had a big promotion, and I didn't catch the bus and missed it. Also, I saw a hundred dollars in front of me, and I was robbed just when I wanted to pick it up. As soon as I buy groceries, the price increases. Little master, tell me, am I unlucky? ”

Auntie's words once again confused me, I thought to myself, how can there be such a person, dressed up brightly, why are you so stingy.

These trivial things have annoyed me a lot lately, and I simply refused.

"I said Auntie, why don't you go to the front hospital to have a look, it's better than mine. You're here early, I'm asleep. I couldn't laugh anymore, and I wanted to send her away, so I said nothing.

"Don't, little master, you have to help me, I'll give the money!"

"Auntie, your situation is like paranoia, you have to find a professional doctor to help you."

"What do you mean? You say I'm a psychopath! How dare you scold me! You hang a signboard and don't do business, believe it or not, my store will be smashed! Aunt said angrily.

"Auntie, I didn't mean that, don't get excited, I'll help you, can't I help!" Watching my aunt get angry, I was indeed a little stunned.

"Wait, how much." Auntie's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and she said slowly.

"The price is negotiable, and how much I will pay, how much money I will pay."

"How much effort do you have to do in my situation?"

"Don't worry, there won't be much to spend."

You must know that the most taboo thing for people to find a master to exorcise evil spirits is to negotiate the price. This aunt is too unsophisticated.

I rolled my eyes, what a fucking thing.

I tried to do a ritual for her.

I'll lay things out: two red candles, a black copper incense burner, a mahogany sword, and a golden compass.

Dip two fingers in water to copy the rune paper, light the candle, light the wine glass, take a stick of incense and light it, and insert it into the incense burner. Take a hair from my aunt, dip it in wine, and put it in the middle of the golden compass. As wisps of smoke rose from the gold plate, the candle flame began to shake, and the compass turned.

Seeing this scene, I thought to myself that something was wrong, it turned out that there were really ghosts haunting my aunt. I picked up the rune paper again and pointed to my aunt.

"Visible!"

Aunt began to lose consciousness, followed by the figure of the little ghost, I picked up the willow wood and hit the aunt hard, shouting while beating: "You little ghost, come out quickly, or I will kill you!" ”

"Ahhhh

With a scream, the little ghost broke away from the aunt, and it rolled on the ground in pain.

The little ghost came out of the body of the aunt, and the aunt fainted temporarily.

"Uncle, uncle, don't beat me, don't beat me, it hurts to death." The imp begged bitterly.

"You little ghost, you don't go to the underworld, is this the place you should stay?" I shouted, and then lashed out.

"Uncle, I was wrong, don't fight, don't fight, spare me."

I ignored the shameless little ghost, I took the compass and put it in prison.

I didn't expect to catch this kind of situation, or I had too little experience and almost made a mistake.

After a while, the aunt woke up, she touched her body, and said, "Why do you feel so much pain on your body, but it's quite relaxed." ”

I smiled at her, it was a bit heavier.

"I said Auntie, you're really not very clean, I just went to you to get away, and now it's much more comfortable." I said proudly.

"That's it!"

"Come on!"

The aunt was happy for a while, and then silently shed tears. She trusted me and cried at me.

It turns out that there is a reason why the aunt is so stingy. The old couple has been running a baked cake shop in Jincheng for more than 20 years, and one cake after another has offered their son to college and bought a house in Jincheng. Then two years ago, when their son got married, the old couple's savings for many years were spent on the bride price and wedding, the cake shop was also sold, and the daughter-in-law did not want to live with them, so the old couple had to move to this worst hutong area. The two of them couldn't do their jobs anymore, the old man was also sick, and his son's money was saved by his daughter-in-law. It wasn't until the old man died last year that the aunt was thinking about it and complaining all day long, and she was angry and resentful, which made this little ghost haunted and became more serious.

My aunt took out a few crumpled coins from her bag, foamed at the foam on her hands, counted them and handed them to me.

Although I don't have any relatives, I don't understand the pain of this family relationship, but my aunt's experience is sure to make me pity.

So I pushed back her tear-stained hand, and I didn't ask for the money, but secretly stuffed some money into her crotch pocket.

I don't think I'm a kind person, I just want to live this life frankly according to the master's teachings and Cuicui's parting words.
