Chapter 2 The Polite Young Woman

The knock on the door was not loud, and it stopped after only three knocks.

It means the other party is very polite.

Su Yu didn't think much about it and was about to open the door. When his palm touched the door panel, he suddenly remembered the faded and old talisman paper.

"There shouldn't be a problem, right? Am I so lucky? I hit a ghost on the first day of traveling through time?"

Although he felt that the possibility was not great, he still looked out through the gap between the door panels.

In the past, he would definitely not be able to see clearly the situation outside the door.

In the middle of the night, the streets were dark and there were no street lights illuminated, and it was pitch black.

But now his eyes are very good.

Standing on the steps outside the door was a young woman with a straight look, her hair was tied up high, her skin was fair and she had a big belly, and she was holding a lantern in her hand, emitting a slight light.

But in Su Yu's eyes, it was another scene.

Her face was like broken porcelain, randomly pieced together, her pupils were like two black holes, and her palms holding a lantern were obviously full of bones, while in her belly was a stillbirth, a baby with black and blue body, already formed.

Su Yu was so scared that he staggered and quickly retreated, feeling his hair all stood up in an instant.

"I'm so lucky? The first person I saw here wasn't a human?"

He came to the counter with slightest steps, dared not make any sound, clasped his hands tightly, forcing himself to calm down.

I can't speak, absolutely not.

Maybe she can't knock on the door and leave?

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The knock on the door sounded again, and Su Yu's heart was pounding uncontrollably, like a drum beat.

"Brother Su, I'm here to get medicine. I'm sorry, I wake you up in the middle of the night."

The woman's voice is very soft, and anyone who hears it thinks this is a elegant and peaceful woman.

If Su Yu hadn't had the help of the system, his eyesight had become unusual and he would have opened the door long ago.

Because the person outside the door was his regular visitor, although he didn't know where the other party lived, Mrs. Xu had been here for a month in a row to get pregnant medicine.

Su Yu recalled carefully in his mind that it seemed that every time Mrs. Xu came to catch medicine, she came in the evening after the city gate was closed. This was the first time today.

Since I have been here so many times, I have not hurt my predecessor, which means that the other party is not a ghost who harms people?

"No! You can't open the door for her no matter what you say."

Su Yu plucked up his courage and said, "Uh...I've already gone to bed...Madam, come again tomorrow."

He was anxious to send the other party away.

Hearing that there was finally movement in the room, Mrs. Xu on the steps said anxiously:

"Sorry, I'm really bothering you. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Su, I can give you more money."

"Uh...I'm really tired, tomorrow, I'll catch you tomorrow morning."

Su Yu was determined not to open the door for her, so he added money? This is not a question of adding money at all, okay?

"Brother Su, I really want you. I've been very uncomfortable recently and need medicine to stabilize the child in my stomach. I want you..."

The woman's tone was begging and choking.

How could you use the fetal aura to stabilize your fetus? The child is already dead.

Su Yu was helpless and she seemed to die. If she didn't take medicine for the other party, she wouldn't leave easily.

How can I send it away?

Suddenly, Su Yu looked up at the corner on the top of the wall, where there was a brick-sized vent.

The medicine shop needs frequent ventilation in order to prevent premature rot and failure of the medicinal materials.

Su Yu's inspiration flashed,

"Okay, then wait a moment."

Su Yu quickly spread out a few pieces of mulberry paper, picked up the medicine and started to grab the medicine quickly.

Mrs. Xu had been here a few times before, and he had already remembered the prescription in his mind.

As usual, after taking the third pair of fetal anti-fetal medicines, Su Yu brought a ladder, climbed to the vent, and stuffed the medicines out.

With a "thump", the medicine bag fell on the steps.

"Okay, take the medicine and leave quickly. Uh... No need to check out. I will close the shop tomorrow. You can go find someone else next time."

After Su Yu said this, he hid behind the counter and waited for the other party's reaction.

"Thank you, Brother Su, thank you very much."

The woman bent down to pick up the medicine bag, held it carefully in her arms, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Then, she took out a ingot of silver from the embroidery bag on her waist, looked at the door of the medicine shop in confusion, and swung her arm.

"Clang!"

The silver ingot was accurately thrown into the air vent by her.

"I thank Brother Su."

After she finished saying this, she left with the medicine bag in satisfaction.

As the footsteps drifted away, until they disappeared completely.

In the shop, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face, and realized that his entire back was soaked in sweat.

"It's so dangerous, it's the first time I hit a ghost in my life."

Now he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he slept behind the counter, adding lamp oil continuously, and stayed up until the morning.

When the morning light penetrated through the gaps in the door panels into the shops, the shouts of vendors became more and more noisy on the streets.

Su Yucai dragged his tired steps and removed the door panels one by one.

Standing on the steps and looking at the bustling and lively street market, I felt a daze.

The wet streets evaporate rapidly in the sun.

The talisman paper on the door panel is still stuck there, but it looks even more pale under the sunlight.

Looking at the wine shop opposite, the palm-sized talisman paper was brand new yellow, and the black on it was clear and conspicuous.

Su Yu suddenly reacted,

"Damn it, is my talisman paper expired?"

No wonder you bump into a ghost?

If you think about it carefully, it would be a month since the talisman paper on your shop turned white, and Mrs. Xu happened to come to him to get medicine in just one month.

"Hi!" Su Yu slapped his forehead. The original body was too careless. He knew that there were ghosts in this world, but he didn't change the talisman paper in time? Why don't he look for a collision?

Thinking about this, Su Yu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Returning to the shop, he put the silver on the ground in his arms, and he planned to go to the yamen to buy some evil-proof talisman paper.

The money given by the female ghost cannot be kept for a long time, so you still have to spend it early.

After going to the county government office, Su Yu bought a stack of talisman paper with the tael of silver.

According to the official from the yamen, he bought back all the amount he used for two years.

Yixintang's door face is not big, but sticking a few pieces of talisman paper will not affect the beauty at all.

Su Yu brought a ladder and, under the puzzled eyes of passers-by, one was posted up, down, left and right.

There are three medicine cabinets in the shop, and one is also posted.

There is also a loft, a wood-room in the backyard, a kitchen, a bedroom, and even the peach tree in the yard.

After doing all this, Su Yu patted his palm with satisfaction.

Silver is precious, but life is even more important.

"Tactic paper, talisman paper, please bless me not to hit ghosts again."

After calming down, Su Yu washed his face in the yard, then went to the street and stopped a vendor to buy a sesame cake. Then he sat on the steps of his own shop, gnawing on the cake and watching all kinds of passers-by.
