Chapter 12 People sell ghosts

"Selling ghosts?!"

Li Yuelin's face was slightly dull. There were all kinds of businesses in the world, but he had never heard of anyone selling ghosts. He was anxious and confused, and he quickly urged: " Tell me what's going on."

Li Yi took a sip of tea and recalled it for a while, then slowly began to tell.

...

It was a night trip. I was doing business near the capital.

I plan carefully and always feel that even if I don't make much money, at least I will cling to those big shots and I won't lose everything.

It's a pity, I still lost the money.

I'm so stupid, so stupid.

The big shots in the dynasty may appear amiable on the surface, but their actions are darker than anyone else's and more ruthless than anyone else's. They drain bone marrow and strip away flesh and blood, leaving nothing behind. Stay.

I have to lose money and have no shame in going back to my hometown.

I had no choice but to wander outside, thinking and thinking, to see if I could find a way to make up for it, but I still couldn't think of it. I thought about going home, but I was really unwilling to go back to my hometown in disgrace. ah.

Walking around, I don't know when I came under the old locust tree three miles outside the city.

It was at this time that I encountered the ghost.

Then it suddenly appeared.

I dared to ask it who it was.

He said, "I am a ghost!"

and then asked me, "Who are you?"

I was extremely poor at that time, but I was still afraid of death. I said that death was inevitable, so I gritted my teeth and said, "I am also a ghost!"

The ghost was confused. He walked around me for a long time and said,

"Then where are you going?"

I answered him, "I'm going to the big city of Wancheng."

The ghost said happily: "I'm going to the big city of Wancheng too!"

My hands and feet felt cold all of a sudden, and I knew that this big market might not be the same thing, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to swallow them back.

So, the ghost followed me.

I had no choice but to go with him.

There was a ghost behind me. My limbs were all stiff, but the ghost was relaxed and said, "It's too slow and tiring to walk like this. How about we carry each other on our backs?"

The ghost stared at me. Look, there is a pair of green eyes. I dare not refuse, for fear of him seeing something.

Just grit your teeth and agree.

The ghost first carried me on its back and walked ten miles in one breath.

Then he asked: "Why are you so serious? You are not a ghost?"

When the ghost spoke, his eyes turned green, fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, and saliva flowed.

My heart almost stopped beating at that time, so I had to forcefully say:

"I just died, so it's just heavier, don't think too much about it."

Then it was me carrying him on my back, feeling light and airy, so I could speed up my steps, so we were interchanged. I carried him on my back three times, and the fear in my heart became a little less. After thinking about it for a long time, I would definitely reveal my secret and be eaten by ghosts, so I lied to him and said:

"I just died and I just became a ghost. What's the point of being a ghost?" Is it taboo?"

The ghost replied: "I don't like blood on my tongue."

As I walked forward, I encountered a river. When the ghost passed by, it almost floated by without making any sound. I made a lot of noise when I passed by. .

That ghost started to doubt me again.

This time, his eyes were glowing red, drool was already flowing from the corner of his mouth, and even his fingers had black nails sticking out like hooks, and the fingers turned pale green:

"Why are you making such a loud noise? ! "

My heart almost jumped out of my chest, but he didn't seem to notice.

I could only hold on to my face and say,

"I just died. I have just become a ghost. I am not used to crossing the river as a ghost. Don't blame me."

The ghost stared at me up and down without making a sound.

I think it's not that he didn't recognize me, but that he regarded me as an animal mount. He planned to go to the ghost market before selling me, ripping out my liver, cramping and pulling out the marrow...

He really didn't go to a regular big market. Instead, I went under the big locust tree outside Wancheng, knocked on the door three times, shouted several times to open the door, and then the road came out in front of me. I was cruel and took advantage of the opportunity of exchanging carrying, and picked him up at once.

He quickly ran inside and shouted: "Sell ghost, sell ghost!"

The ghost didn't expect that

when people are poor, ghosts will sell.

The ghost yelled at me, and when he was about to climb down, he used the magic of transformation and turned into a sheep. He broke away and I bit my tongue, and the blood from the tip of my tongue spurted on him, but he couldn't. Change again.

But I was worried that if time passed, he would change back, so I sold him to an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest led the sheep with a rope inlaid with jade and pulled it away.

I was given a package. My heart was beating so fast that I ran back to a safe place. I opened it and almost dazzled my eyes when I opened it.

There was a full one hundred and fifty taels of gold in it.

...

Finished the pot of tea.

Li Yixian's story has been finished. When he spoke, his palms were shaking, and he finally calmed down. You can know how scared he was at the time, even though his memories are clear now.

If you take even one wrong step, you may be dead.

Li Yuelin almost forgot to drink tea after hearing this, and then comforted his brother with a sweet voice, but Li Yi exhaled first and said: "But it's okay now, we have so much gold, so much, so much gold Ah."

"Our family can not only live here."

"We can also go out to Fucheng and the county town!"

"

Guangzong Yaozu, I have not failed my ancestors."

Li Yixian's words became a little confused again.

Li Yuelin comforted him, and suddenly thought of something. He looked at the gold on the table and said, "But after all, these golds were obtained by selling evil spirits in the ghost market. Will it attract more people?" Evil ghost?"

Li Yixian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, brother."

"I was worried about this, so I made a special trip to the capital, prayed devoutly in the Taoist temple there, and asked the Taoist priest to ward off evil spirits. Then I calmed down and returned home to Zhongzhou.

"I don't plan to go out again when I go home."

" Do n't

worry,"

Li Yixian said with a smile.

, It will definitely be fine."
