Chapter 41: Ghost Market

The ghost market is really the first time that Zhou Jinyu and Lin Leier have heard of it, how can there be a ghost market in this world?

Lin Lei'er asked first, "Does the Wu Gang Master still have dealings with the ghosts of the Netherworld?"

Wu Hongwen almost squirted out the wine with laughter: "Hahaha, Sister Lei'er, I really admire you so much, how did you come up with this?"

Lin Lei'er said: "Isn't the ghost market doing business with ghosts?"

Wu Hongwen felt that Lin Lei'er's question was innocent, so he joked: "If this is the case, then the yin and yang worlds in this world will not be chaotic? ”

Lin Lei'er shrunk her neck and said, "Don't talk about this, I don't dare to sleep at night." ”

Wu Hongwen said again: "Sister Lei'er is with poisonous insects every day, are you still afraid of these?"

Lin Lei'er thought for a while and said, "My insects all listen to me, and those ghosts and ghosts in the underworld may not harm me." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "You can find me to protect you." ”

Lin Lei'er pursed her lips and said, "The dirty smell on your beggar disciples is to ward off evil spirits. ”

Wu Hongwen was nailed by Lin Leier so much that he couldn't speak, so he had to shake his head and smile bitterly.

Zhou Jinyu, who was originally worried, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Listening to Sister Lei'er, my mood can always get better." ”

Lin Lei'er asked, "Really?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded and said, "Of course it's true." ”

Wu Hongwen smiled bitterly: "If Brother Xian can be a little happier, even if I can't talk about Sister Lei'er, I will feel a lot more relieved in my heart." ”

Zhou Jinyu said: "This is the first time I have heard of this ghost market, and I also asked Gang Master Wu to solve my doubts for the two of us." ”

Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Haha, how to talk about solving puzzles, the ghost market is actually a night market, which opens late at night and disperses at dawn." ”

Lin Lei'er asked: "Since ancient times, the sun rises and the sun sets, why do these people want to do business at night?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Because there are two kinds of people who come to the ghost market late at night to do business, one is the children of the royal family and nobles, and the other is the rooster and dog thief who digs graves and digs graves. ”

Lin Lei'er said: "Then I understand." ”

Zhou Jinyu asked, "What do you understand?"

Lin Lei'er said: "Of course I understand why these people only do business late at night. ”

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Then why do you want to see why these people only go to the ghost market late at night to sell their belongings?"

Lin Leier said, "The stubborn children of the royal family and nobles must have declined because of the changeable world, but they can't put it down, so they have to sell valuable things at night." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Sister Lei'er is really smart, what about those who dig graves and dig graves?"

Lin Leier said: "The things in their hands themselves can't see the light, and they can only be sold at night." ”

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but be a little surprised by Lin Lei'er's intelligence, she was able to see through the mystery before herself at a young age, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister Lei'er is so smart, I really can't hope for it." ”

Lin Lei'er grinned, revealing her white and neat teeth, and she was embarrassed.

Wu Hongwen said: "What do you think of going to the ghost market?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Will there be 'Mo Evil' in the ghost market?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Of course, such a treasure will not be placed on the surface, but there are many strange people and strange things in the ghost market, and it is good that we can find out some news." ”

Zhou Jinyu nodded and said, "Also, where is the ghost market in Suzhou?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Coincidentally, on that Ganjiang Road and Mo Ye Road, the two roads are connected, one is called Ganjiang Road, and the other is called Mo Ye Road. ”

Lin Lei'er asked, "Are there still many strange things in the ghost market?" Maybe I can also pick out some silver jewelry to bring to Grandma. ”

Wu Hongwen said: "You want to go too?"

Lin Lei'er said: "Of course I want to go!"

Zhou Jinyu and Wu Hongwen looked at each other and smiled, feeling that Lin Lei'er's personality was stubborn, if she wanted to go, no one could stop her.

Wu Hongwen said: "If you have to go, you can do it, but it's better not to buy things from that place." ”

Lin Lei'er asked, "Why?"

Wu Hongwen said: "Although there is no shortage of rare items in the ghost market, there are also many objects that come from the wrong way and are confused.

Lin Lei'er rolled her eyes and felt that Wu Hongwen was right, so she didn't argue, but said, "Then I won't buy it, I'll take a look with you." ”

Wu Hongwen raised his neck and poured the last piece of bamboo wine on the wine table into his stomach and said: "After drinking so much wine, we just go back and have a good night's sleep, and then go to the road after the second watch." ”

Zhou Jinyu said: "It's arranged by Gang Master Wu!"

The moon and stars are scarce, a round of cold moon hangs high in the sky, the inner ultraviolet red moon halo wraps the bright moon tightly in it, and the sporadic starlight shines in the vast sky.

Zhou Jinyu, Wu Hongwen and Lin Leier walked on the empty streets, and they already felt the chill of the cold wind penetrating the single clothes.

When the three of them reached the corner of Ganjiang Road, they could already see scattered stalls on the side of the road, each stall was lit with a lantern, and the lantern swayed in the wind, like a ghost fire flickering in the light.

Although the ghost market is also called a "city", there are very few people on the street, and apart from the stall owners, there are very few people who come here to sell their goods. The whole street is really quiet like a ghost street, and it is extremely uncomfortable to walk on the street, and if you come here alone, you will inevitably be infected by this oppressive atmosphere. Maybe the people who do business here don't do much, just do a good deal and make a lot of money.

Zhou Jinyu and his entourage walked forward along Ganjiang Road for a while, and saw that the roadside was full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Zhou Jinyu was not interested in these objects, and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity in the dark night, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After taking a few steps forward, Zhou Jinyu actually heard the sound of a rooster crowing, followed the reputation, and saw a slightly chubby, short man, the man was about forty years old, wearing a green coarse cloth clothes, his hair was tied with a turban, his face was covered with a beard that had just been trimmed, and the fine stubble was like a steel needle growing upside down on his cheeks.

On the man's shoulder, there was a rooster with his head held high, and his red cockscomb was like a red flower, looking at Zhou Jinyu and them proudly.

When the man saw Zhou Jinyu and them coming, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and kept knocking melon seeds in his mouth, and he was extremely skilled.

The man swallowed the melon seeds but did not eat any of them, but spit out the skin of the melon seeds and fed the rooster directly with his own mouth. The big rooster is also very ingenious, whenever he eats melon seeds, he bows politely, and the melon seeds are pecked by the beak of the chicken.

Wu Hongwen was a little curious, how could anyone in this world keep a rooster as a pet? So he asked, "This shopkeeper, is this chicken yours?"

The man glanced at Wu Hongwen and said, "This chicken is not for sale!"

Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, I don't want to buy this chicken, I'm just curious about how the shopkeeper can raise a rooster as a pet?"

The man said: "My chicken is a morning chicken, and the rooster will close the market, and it will accompany me every night, so I will naturally be better to him." ”

The man carefully looked at the three people in front of him, and saw that the three people in front of him did not look like people who came to the ghost market to do business, so he asked, "I'm afraid that a few people don't eat this bowl of rice, right?"

Wu Hongwen said: "How can the shopkeeper see that we are not eating this bowl of rice?"

The man said: "I have seen a lot of people eating this bowl of rice, look at the clothes and demeanor of the three of them, how can they rob the tomb and dig the grave." ”

Wu Hongwen said: "Maybe we are the children of the down-and-out family?"

The man snorted coldly and said, "The stubborn children of the down-and-out family are not as powerful as the two sons. ”

Wu Hongwen hugged his fists and said: "Admire, admire, don't hide it from the shopkeeper, we are indeed not here to do business." ”

The man asked, "Look at this son's luxuriously dressed, he must be a rich and noble family, I don't know why he is here late at night?"

Wu Hongwen said: "We are here to inquire about something. ”

The man asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Hongwen said: "The shopkeeper has a collection of famous swords in the world?"

The man said, "Then it depends on which famous sword the son is looking for?"

Wu Hongwen lowered his voice a little and said, "'Mo Evil'." ”
