The Two Hundred and Seventy-Second Nights A hundred pieces of the earth

Lonely nights, lonely hearts, souls with nowhere to rest! Can't sleep? Come and tell you a story about the Netherworld, the story we are going to tell today is called "A Hundred Pieces on the Earth"!

"Look up and see the joy, look down and pick up the money" is a good thing that many people dream of, but I only hope that you can look up and see the joy, because if you pick up the money, it means that someone has lost the money, your mood is good, but have you ever thought about how aggrieved the person who lost the money should be!

Zhang Xiaokai is an ordinary low-level worker in society, who is busy to death every day, and works hard all day long to get where to get a meal money.

Although Zhang Xiaokai is not doing well now, his mentality is still very good, and he feels that although his current life is very busy, it is very fulfilling, and it can be regarded as painful and happy.

That night, Zhang Xiaokai came back from work, in order to save a dollar of bus money, so he walked through the streets of the city in a suit and tie like a boss, wearing a suit and a briefcase.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaokai's eyes lit up, and he found that there was a red piece of paper on the ground, the width, the length, and the color were almost the same as the legendary 100 yuan!

Xiao Kai held back the excitement in his heart, and looked around with the corner of his eye, because he was still staring at the thing lying on the ground, he found that no one noticed him, and walked quickly to the front, yes, it was a genuine hundred yuan!

One hundred yuan is nothing for some people, but for a poor worker like Xiaokai, it is a huge amount of money, with this money, you can buy several boxes of cold mineral water, buy cheap beer or two cases, if you buy instant noodles, buy ham sausages, buy fried fritters, buy salty salt can not be eaten in a year!

Xiao Kai strictly follows the three steps of picking up money, the first step is to step on the money under his feet, then squat down and pretend to tie his shoes, and the third step is to pick up the money with lightning speed and then quickly stuff it into his pocket, and get up and leave after completing the full set!

Everything was like a dream, Xiao Kai excitedly trotted all the way back home, as if he had done something immoral, closed all the doors and windows, turned on the light and took out the hundred yuan, looked under the lamp and looked, Xiao Kai became more and more frightened, and the look of excitement and joy on his face was swept away, replaced by a look of horror.

Just now, it was obviously a brand new RMB of 100 yuan, but I don't know why it just took more than ten minutes of work in my pocket, how did it become a dark coin, and the workmanship was so high imitation, so that Xiao Kai felt that he must have been dazzled, so he mistakenly picked it up as RMB.

Xiao Xing sighed in his bad luck, crumpled the dark coin into a ball and threw it into the trash, and was so depressed that he didn't even eat dinner and went to bed directly.

Zhang Xiaokai slept very unsteadily this night, because I didn't know who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I didn't know what he was doing.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaokai's sleep quality is not bad, a night of grogginess finally came, early in the morning habitually wanted to open the window to breathe, but found that the window glass of his house was all broken, not the kind that was completely broken, it had been broken into a small piece, but still glued together.

Seeing such a strange scene, Xiao Kai was frightened, and his first reaction was that it was not artificial, because no one has such a big ability, and he smashed a glass and controlled the strength so well, is it related to the dark coin he picked up?

Thinking of this, Xiao Kai took out the coin from the trash can, found a lighter and lit it in the bathroom, and threw it into the toilet and flushed it into the sewer.

After doing all this, Xiao Kai saw that the time was not early, so he simply packed up and hurried to work.

After the boring and unchanged daily work was completed, what made Xiao Kai happy was that he didn't have to work overtime today, and left the unit at five o'clock in the afternoon, and walked happily all the way home.

When Xiao Kai pushed the door open and entered the room, he smelled a smell of paper ash in the room, Xiao Kai took a few steps forward and saw that everything in the trash can had been burned out, and only a thick basket of paper ash was left inside.

Xiao Xing secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, otherwise the "nest" that he bought with a loan with great difficulty would probably be burned down.

Xiao Kai carried the trash can downstairs, dumped the ashes in the trash can, and found that there was a 100 yuan bill stuck inside, Xiao Kai took out the money and confirmed it again and again, yes, it was a 100 yuan yuan!

Xiao Xingzhong was overjoyed, and when he turned around, something happened that made him even more surprised and excited, only to see a hundred yuan bills on the ground extending all the way to the distance, Xiao Kai saw that there was no one around, and began to pick up the money one by one, looking at more and more banknotes in his hand, Xiao Kai's heart was simply happy!

Zhang Xiaokai, who only cared about lowering his head to pick up the money, didn't realize that he was getting farther and farther away from his home at this moment, and walked all the way to the moat.

Xiao Kai looked back and saw that he was an elderly man, about sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and a long beard, giving people a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

"Young man, don't be blinded by money, life is the most important thing, come back quickly!" The old man's hand was very strong, and he pulled Xiao Kai back, Xiao Kai only felt his whole body for a while, and found that he was now by the moat, surrounded by a large group of onlookers, pointing and whispering to Xiao Kai.

Looking at Xiao Kai's hand again, what he was holding was not even a dark coin, but black paper ash, and an eldest sister next to him was looking at Xiao Kai with a confused face, and there was a brazier for burning paper in front of her, and there were some unburned papers next to it.

It turns out that Xiaokai is not picking up money along the way, but the paper ashes left over after burning paper, today is July 15, many people will burn paper on the roadside to pay tribute to their deceased relatives, and it is also a day when the ghost door is wide open, and those restless ghosts come to the sun to find a substitute.

In order to find a suitable stand-in, they will set all kinds of traps in advance, and the 100 yuan is the bait they set, if it wasn't for the old man who pulled Xiao Kai in time, I'm afraid Xiao Kai would have committed suicide by throwing himself into the river and becoming a stand-in for the ghost drowned in the moat!

Although he has two hands of paper ashes, it is a blessing in misfortune to be safe and sound, but afterwards Xiao Kai has been thinking, who is the old man who pulled himself?

Until one day his parents told him that Xiao Kai's great-grandfather also drowned when he was saving people in the moat, and that old man might be Xiao Kai's great-grandfather.

But to be precise, it should be the river god~!
