Chapter 12: The Goddess

Zhou Sheng turned around and came to a dilapidated thatched hut. This is Chu Xuan's home, it's really miserable......

Gently push open the door, and into the eye, it is a large cake!

There are large cakes pasted on the wall, and the paintings are lifelike. Chu Xuan was still on the table and chair where he was missing a leg, and continued to paint, his face pale with hunger.

Seeing Zhou Sheng coming, he hurriedly smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Zhou, I smiled, I really have no food to spare, so I can only draw bread to satisfy my hunger......"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and sighed, "There's nothing to laugh at." I used to be in Zhou's house, and I didn't have enough food and clothing. I said, Brother Chu, even if you go to the street to set up a word stall and sell calligraphy and paintings, you won't be hungry like this. Your handwriting is good, you can sell a big son for each pair, sell a few pieces a day, and you can eat it!"

"Hey, Brother Zhou, you don't know. Selling words is selling a name, you are not famous, no matter how well the words are written, no one wants to buy them. What are you going to do when you buy it, as a butt wipe?"

Chu Xuan is right, this thing is just a name, and there are not many people who really appreciate it.

Zhou Sheng talked with him for a while, Chu Xuan was really hungry, he hadn't eaten for two or three days, and poured a stomach full of water. If you continue like this, you will have to starve to death.

Seeing this, Zhou Sheng went outside to buy him some food, sauce elbows, duck necks, and meat buns......

Chu Xuan smelled the fragrance, his eyes showed a wolf-like green glow, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Brother Zhou, where did you get the money to buy these things?"

"Eat! Look how hungry you are. I made a small fortune last night and have a little money in my hand......"

Chu Xuan glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Have you made a fortune?" What kind of fortune have you made, you can't carry a big bag on your shoulder, you can't carry a big bag when you go to the dock, you shouldn't be stealing, I don't eat the food I bought with this money, my intestines will rot after eating!"

As soon as Chu Xuan's strength came up, he was really angry, he was so hungry that he died, and he didn't care where the money came from.

Zhou laughed angrily and said: "You are a splash, how can you be so pedantic, a scholar knows righteousness, what is it to steal things." As long as you can live, you can't do anything. When life is gone, there is nothing. If it is a Confucian such as the Three Princes, in order to survive, he will also steal things. To be a man, you have to know how to be flexible, and besides, I'm not stealing!"

When Chu Xuan heard this, he was also hungry, his belly gurgled, and when he smelled your fragrance, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ate and drank heavily.

"Ahem~~"

I ate too quickly and choked.

"Slow down, slow down, no one will rob you".

As Chu Xuan ate, his belly gradually propped up, the blood sugar in his body increased, and his face gradually became ruddy, no longer white and scary like a ghost.

Zhou Sheng said lightly: "I came to you this time and have something to discuss with you." This time, I also failed in the imperial examination, and I was also kicked out of my family, so I don't have a place to live now, I thought about it and decided to sell calligraphy and paintings, you can go with you!"

Chu Xuan chewed the pig's head meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's useless to go to the street to set up a stall, no one buys it at all." Besides, I can't pull off that face when I'm waiting for a scholar, at least I have to rent a storefront, that's a lot of money, where are you going?"

Zhou Sheng took out a silver ticket from the package, Chu Xuan glanced at it and gasped.

"One hundred taels of gold, where did you get so much money, this is a small fortune, it's enough for the family to eat and drink for a lifetime!"

"Picked it up, I hit the big luck last night!"

"Okay, then rent a storefront and sell calligraphy and paintings. At first, he was not famous, he sold it low, and it would be fine in two years!" Chu Xuan also agreed, he didn't have any work to make a living, and if he went on like this, he would probably have to ask for food. And he has the best face, and it is estimated that he will not be able to eat.

......

......

Wenting Street, a rented storefront, was taken down by Zhou Sheng. It is very deserted, there is basically no lively business, and this shop used to sell calligraphy and paintings, but it was not properly operated and closed down. So the rent is also very small, and it doesn't cost too much money.

The calligraphy and paintings left behind were already moldy, so Zhou Sheng bought them at the price of cabbage and put them in the sun to dry them to cool down and get wet.

Opposite, there is a carpenter's shop, the sound of saws all day long, and the smell of mustard in the air.

Zhou Sheng chose here, on the one hand, it is pure, and it is convenient for him to practice martial arts. On the other hand, he doesn't expect to be able to make a few dollars, he is not famous and versatile, and it is too much to give away for nothing, he still wants to have a place to live, and then give the only friend a chance to make a living.

He needed time to accumulate now, to digest what he got last night, and then plan slowly.

"Hitting plantain ...... in the night rain"

Zhou Sheng took the feather duster, dusted off the dust of the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and when he saw the words written on it, he pouted, this name is not as good as his own writing!

......

......

At this time, Tu Laosan and the others were injured, and they did not go home directly, but came to a mansion called Ma Zhai.

Walking in, a group of people were gathered in the courtyard, and there was an altar in the middle, filled with pig's head, ox head, sheep's head and other three animals.

In front of the altar, a goddess is dancing the great god. The goddess's face was wrinkled, like the peel of an orange. The dry hand is like a chicken's claw, crumpled. He was wearing a big red cloth dress, which was particularly bright. There are two big black bracelets on the wrists, and there are also anklets on the ankles, and they jingle when they walk.

In front of the group of onlookers, there were several people in white filial piety clothes, crying.

An old man next to him sighed: "Evil, I really don't know what trouble this Ma family has caused, he was targeted by ghosts, and the young man of the Ma family was haunted by ghosts at a young age......."

"Hey, I hope this goddess can catch that ghost, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well!"

"Don't worry, this goddess has a good reputation......"

......

After a while, the goddess's hand pointed at the bull's head, and the bull's head with its eyelids closed opened its eyes, causing everyone to exclaim.

"Bull's eye knows ghosts, little ghosts, don't show up quickly!"

Her hoarse voice lingered in the courtyard. As soon as the bull's eye opened, a green light the size of a basin appeared coldly.

"Ah, the ghost has appeared~~~"

"There really is a ghost, I thought it was fake......

The people in the courtyard were noisy, but because of the large number of people and the courage of the people, no one was afraid.

In the basin-sized green light cluster was a child, with a hideous corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to suck human blood. But as soon as the blood and qi gathered by everyone rushed together, it burned and hurt, and everyone could see him yelling, but they couldn't hear any sound.

The green light has decreased a lot. At this time, the sun in the sky burned his body even more. This ghost is also quite capable, if it is another little ghost, how dare he come out in broad daylight, and his soul will not be scattered.

The goddess pinched a piece of old locust wood in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Little ghost, if you don't surrender yet, when will you wait!"

With a swipe, the imp burrowed into the Yin Soul Wood. The goddess wiped the sweat from her forehead and seemed to use great strength.

An old man with gray hair on crutches walked over from the side and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Goddess, how is the little ghost now?"

"Don't worry, it will turn into pus in an instant!Hey, this little ghost is also good at itself, and it has cost me ten years of hard work......" the goddess said with a sad face.

"Well, my poor grandson can die blindly. This is a gratuity, please smile and accept it, it will not let you waste your efforts in vain......"

The old man waved his hand and asked the family to send fifty taels of gold, a total of five taels, each of which was ten taels of official silver.

After receiving the gold, the goddess smiled and said, "The old man has taken his leave, what can you say hello to me."

Under the respectful gaze of everyone, the goddess left here, and Tu Lao Sansan and the three followed behind.

......

I came to a remote courtyard, which was overgrown with weeds, and poisonous snakes were winding, and the triangular snake head seeped into people when it looked at it.

The real yard is gloomy, and it feels terrible cold in broad daylight.

When she entered the house, she saw the injuries on several people and said angrily, "What's the matter? Who made you like this and injured you, who will help me do something!"

Tu Laosan spit out bitterness and said, "Grandma, today we are going to make a big vote, but we ran into a ruthless nail and almost couldn't come back......

He put things aside, and the goddess was furious. With a wave of the old locust wood on his waist, the little ghost came out of it, and the goddess touched the little ghost's head lovingly, and said with a cold smile: "My grandson, this time the thing is good, and I have earned dozens of gold." I have something to do tonight, you go and kill someone for me again, and when you come back, grandma will treat you well......"

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the little ghost's little face, and Tu Laosan and the others next to him trembled for a while.

The goddess looked at a few people and said gloomily, "My sacrifice, are you ready?"

"Grandma, you also know that the wind has been a little tight recently, so I didn't dare to get more, just a two-legged sheep, you can taste it!" Ma San put down the sack behind him, which seemed to contain a living thing, and it was still fluttering.

The rope opening revealed a doll the size of a few months. His eyes had been gouged out, and the two holes in the black rumbling made people shudder. The doll was screaming violently, but he couldn't make a sound, his tongue had been cut off, and looking at the wound, it should have been cut alive with scissors.

Cruel!!

When the goddess saw the doll, she laughed bitterly, said with dry hands, stroked the top of the doll's head, and comforted: "Don't worry, grandma will love you well!"

Her fingernails, with a brush, pierced into the doll's skull, and the skull was removed alive, the doll's painful face was distorted, and blood flowed down from the top of her head, staining her little face.

The brains of the white flowers, the appetite of the goddess who saw it was great, and then there was a sucking sound......

Although it was not the first time that he had seen the goddess eating, Tu Laosan and the others were also sick to their stomachs. They have also done bad things, but this kind of raw brain-eating thing is not as good as ......

......
