It was cold, I wrapped myself in a military coat, soaked a bucket of instant noodles, and was about to start eating, when there was a banging knock on the door outside.

"In the middle of the night, who is this?" I went over with a cigarette in my mouth and opened the door.

It was drizzling outside, it was very dark, and with the help of the small pink lamp at the door, I could barely see a girl in a black cotton jacket standing outside the door.

"Massage?" I asked.

Her lips turned purple from the cold, and she looked up at the signboard hanging on the lintel: "Is it the Estee Tuina Health Club?" ”

"Hmm. Come on in. ”

I opened the door wide open for her to come in.

The girl was only twenty-three or four years old, with long purple hair, and her eyes were large, twinkling, and she looked very well-behaved.

"You find a place to sit first, I'll eat something."

She obediently found a fairly clean chair to sit on, and looked around the room curiously.

I picked up a fish intestine, broke it into several pieces and threw it into the instant noodle bucket, and snorted and ate it.

"I was introduced by an acquaintance," said the girl, "and you will know the second uncle." ”

The second uncle is a family friend of my grandfather. Took good care of me. Since he borrowed money from me to open this massage parlor, he has introduced clients to me twice in three days.

But my massage parlor has rules, and not everyone picks up.

"Do you know that when you come here for a massage, I don't accept three of them?" I asked the girl.

The girl was a little dazed, "They said that your massage here can drive away evil spirits, so I came." I don't know what the rules are. ”

I finished eating instant noodles, wiped my mouth with paper, put them in the instant noodle bucket together, opened the door and threw them outside in the garbage bin. Only then did he come in with a full burp.

The girl smelled my mouthful of instant noodles from afar, covered her nose, and didn't dare to show disgust.

I pointed to an A4 piece of paper taped to the wall, with the three rules of the massage parlor written on it.

"First, don't press men."

"Second, press only on those who are evil."

"Thirdly, those who are over fifty years old and those who are less than fourteen years old are not pressed."

When the girl saw these three rules, her face was like a bitter melon, and she stood up and said, "I'd better think about it again." ”

"By the way, I have another hidden rule in this store." I said, "Close during the day." It opens at 11 p.m. and closes at 6 a.m. Except, of course, in exceptional circumstances. ”

"Oh, oh." She got up and walked away like a little quail, and she really took me for a bad uncle.

I shouted from behind, "You're going to come back tomorrow, and you're going to have to pay for it." ”

I laughed wickedly.

She ran faster.

After closing the door, I staggered into the back room, sat down on the single couch, turned on the TV and started to play the game.

Although I am poor and eat instant noodles now, my pocket is cleaner than my face, and I don't have a single customer, but I still have confidence.

Because, exorcism is a rigid need in this era.

Nowadays, there is so much anger between people, and the alleys are full of big fairies who watch things and invite gods, and demons and monsters walk sideways on the streets. Everyone's mental state is extremely depleted. Every year, there are many people who are depressed alone.

As a customer, you can either accept my rules, or you will be tortured and choose for yourself.

Lao Tzu is called a shopkeeper and a shopkeeper, and he is also called Jiang Taigong fishing.

My name is Qin Lianlian, the craft of massage is our family ancestor, according to my grandfather, he was a Taoist priest in Liutai Mountain when he was a child, at that time because of the surprise of the bones, coupled with a coincidence, was accepted as an apprentice by a hermit master, teaching massage and exorcism of this advanced spell.

During the massage, the true qi in the body is induced, and the true qi is poured into the patient's body through techniques such as pressing, kneading, pressing, and pinching, and then using techniques such as scraping and cupping to draw out the evil qi and seal the evil ghosts.

At that time, the master told my grandfather that this exorcism method is called ghost hand massage, and you are a ghost hand masseur.

My grandfather didn't dare to be, and said respectfully, Master, you are the first generation.

The master shook his head and said, I'm ashamed to do a line, and don't say that I taught you when you go out.

My grandfather's nose almost ran out of breath.

Fortunately, the master said: "You will enter the world in the future, and use ghost hand massage to help people exorcise evil spirits, which seems to be a ninth-rate, but in fact, it is a massage to enter the Tao, which is no different from those famous factions." In the future, we will subdue demons and eliminate demons, and take it as our responsibility to protect the common people. ”

In the end, the master confessed two things, one is that after leaving the mountain and entering the WTO, my grandfather was not allowed to mention his name, nor was he allowed to his own sons and grandsons.

The second is that ghost hand massage inevitably involves physical contact with the opposite sex, and it is easy to misfire. From time to time, he would disguise himself and go down the mountain to check, and if my grandfather and his descendants were bent on protecting the road and sitting upright, there was nothing to say. If he is a traitor, he will clear the door and his head will fall to the ground.

After my grandfather came down the mountain, he opened a small massage parlor, which was passed on to my father within a few years. My father is a romantic person, and in addition to my mother, he has ambiguous affairs with many women.

My grandfather was furious, the teachings of the master were right in front of him, he didn't want to watch his son be cleared and his head fell to the ground, so he was ruthless, broke the meridians of my father's hands, drove him out of the door, and survived on his own.

My father left, and he has been missing since then. My mother also died depressed.

I grew up beside my grandfather, and in my childhood I underwent rigorous training, meditating on standing piles, pouring cold water on my head, opening up the meridians, and practicing superior exercises.

The most important thing is that until now, I have really not leaked my yang, and my grandfather told me that only in this way can I be invincible when exorcizing ghosts.

When my grandfather passed away, I was told to swear that I would not be a traitor, although I would not take the protection of the road as my own responsibility, but I should also walk in the world with righteousness, and the demons and monsters are not incompatible!

Now I am the only one left in the old Qin family, and I am the only one in this world for the inheritance of this ghost hand massage.

I don't want to do anything else, I'm tired and I don't make money, so why don't I use such a craft.

borrowed money from the second uncle and opened this late-night massage shop in the alley, but as of now, except for a few old people who have come to inquire, no one has come.

I haven't opened the store and eat instant noodles every day.

It's false to say that there is no hurry, who doesn't want to get rich? But my personality is that no matter how anxious I am, I can't mess with my proportions.

I know in my heart that the most difficult thing is to go from zero to one, as long as the first customer is closed, the rest will be logical.

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, I was sleeping soundly, when the door suddenly slammed.

I woke up from a deep sleep.
