Chapter 50 The Drunk in the Square
Ghost Story stores do not do business to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, but are all business to help ghosts relieve worries, so among ghosts, it can be said to be a holy place. Besides, in the three years since I took over the store, I have never offended any customer. It is impossible for ghosts to take revenge. Could it be that they have no money to spend it like the drunks encountered in the underworld, and come to steal something and go back to resell?
It doesn't look like it. Except for the broken bottles and jars, the others are intact and there are a lot of things inside, which can be ruled out.
I lowered my head and thought about it, and suddenly I remembered a ghost, it was her! The one I drove away from Fu Xueman's house. I almost burned her to death with the True Lord's Divine Fire Curse. Before leaving, I threatened to take revenge on me. As time goes by, she was injured by me with the Golden Light Spell and the Chopsticks God. She was burned by the True Lord's Divine Fire Curse for a few times. At least one month has been recovered. Now that I have recovered, I will come to attack my shop.
I didn't think that day that she was so powerful that she could actually break into my shop. This is not something that ordinary ghosts can do. It seems that I really have to be a little more careful about her.
Turning back, I saw Shen Bing lying on the table, holding her hands on her chin, and staring at me quietly with her two beautiful eyes. She was rarely so quiet, but this revealed a kind of quiet beauty with a unique charm.
"Do you know who the murderer is?" She immediately asked with great energy when she saw me looking at her.
"Well, there's probably some clues, maybe I'm here to play the game." I nodded and said.
She curled her lips, stood up and looked around and said, "You said all day long that your shop is full of Taoist magical instruments, why didn't I see it? It would be strange if you can block the ghost!"
I couldn't help but smile. How could the layman see it? So I pointed to the Qinglong and White Tiger at the door and explained to her that the two statues were specially used for guarding the door. Grandpa Taizu once formed evil spirits and sacrificed talismans on the statue. As long as the ghost affairs peach wood sign I carried with me entered the store, the Qinglong and White Tiger would rest. Ghosts could enter and exit the store at will without being hurt. As soon as I left, they woke up and started on duty. Ghosts could not enter at all.
After saying this, he pointed to the eight-mouth coffin on the beam of the room and said that it is not possible to take care of customers, all the magic weapons inside fail after the store is opened. If a fierce ghost starts, I can't resist it. But I can't use magic weapons that directly restrain ghosts, so I used the Eight Coffin Ghost Control Bureau. This is a way to use Yin to treat Yin and poison to overcome poison, forming a line of defense between me and the table. If a ghost wants to attack me, if he crosses this line, he will be suppressed by the Eight Coffin Ghost Control Bureau.
The most powerful one is the magic bottle on the shelf, which contains magic water with thousands of years of spiritual energy. If it is not close, the bottle is like an ordinary bottle, without any movement. If an evil ghost approaches, the magic water spiritual energy will surge out and turn the ghost into a stream of blue smoke.
Shen Bing was walking in the store with his hands behind his back, and listened to me enthusiastically and asked, "Does the magic bottle be so powerful, has that ghost been over?"
I shook my head and said, "From the bottle, the ghost escaped. If the ghost is transformed into Dharma water, there should be black air at the edge of the bottle mouth. The smoke that the ghost turns into will eventually fall into this place. The black line on the bottle indicates that she is attacked by the magic water spiritual energy and is infected by the ghost energy. She must have been injured."
Shen Bing asked again: "Don't you have the soul-chasing flag? You can't find where the thief has run away?"
I smiled and said, "The soul-chasing flag can only be used at night, because the ghost is like me and hides it very well during the day, and it is basically difficult to find her trace."
This matter came to an end. It was time to talk about our personal matters. I mentioned asking her to help. She refused to agree. She felt that doing so would be too cruel for Xueman and she couldn't bear it. In addition, this also deceived my mother, and she felt even more disgusted.
Finally, she said to me seriously: "In my mind, you are a very righteous man. Don't be Chen Shimei, so I will look down on you."
When she mentioned Chen Shimei, I remembered the scene at the train station. I said, "You have asked me to be Chen Shimei once, why do you still respect me so much?"
When I said that, her face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "Aren't I kidding you?"
I snorted, "Just kidding? How can men and women make such jokes? Besides, I stayed in your body for a day. When I was sleeping, I had a problem and liked to touch my body..."
"Ah" Shen Bing suddenly screamed, scaring me so much that I thought it was haunted in broad daylight, so I immediately turned around and looked around, without any movement.
"You bastard, you bastard, I won't tell you anymore." Shen Bing shouted and ran out of the store as if he was running away.
I closed the shop and then chased me home. Shen Bing was already sitting in the living room and chatting with my mother. When she saw me entering the door, she immediately turned to look at the TV. She seemed to be very afraid of meeting my gaze and her face was still red. I felt ridiculous. It has been so long, and she was still shy when she mentioned this. Is it so serious?
We are in a plain area, with no fun places. In winter, it is like a mummy stripped of clothes, dry and without any chance. Let's be bored at home. With my mother here, Shen Bing couldn't speak, so I took her to the street for casual stroll in the afternoon.
The town is not as good as a big city. The more the Chinese New Year is, the more deserted the streets are. Only the square in the center of the town is very lively, with many street stalls, most of which are doing children's business, such as kites, balloons, toys, trains, etc., which attract many children. The sounds of children laughing and playing from afar.
Shen Bing likes to join in the fun and walks over there. When she sees a stall where the air gun is shooting and shooting balloons, she is actually very childlike and yells to play two games. If she is a policeman, who is not good at shooting, even though the boss has already adjusted the air gun sight, she still hits the gun, which makes the boss's face dark.
I thought to myself that this is all a trick to cheat children. You have knocked out the balloons in a while, and their business is still furious. I have to pull her and leave. Suddenly, I heard a bunch of children in front of me screaming, and they ran away everywhere. A few adults ran towards the other side, and it seemed that something had happened.
Shen Bing put down his air gun, pulled me and ran to the front. At this time, the person was already surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. He couldn't see any scene inside even when he stood on tiptoe. Shen Bing squeezed in and finally squeezed in.
It turned out that a drunk man was lying on the ground, with strong alcohol scent everywhere in the circle, a large piece of blood flowing from his face, and a street lamp pole next to him was stained with blood. Judging from this situation, he was drunk and didn't look at the road and hit the street lamp. However, according to this level of injury, it was impossible to hit so severely at the walking speed, unless he was running.
Two people opened the drunkard, saw who it was, and sent someone to call his family.
"Isn't this Liu San? He doesn't drink alcohol normally, so why do he drink like this?" Someone recognized the drunk and muttered to the people around him in a low voice.
"He lost money this year and often drank and beat his wife."
"I heard from our child that he was deliberately hitting the street lamp pole."
