Chapter 114 Ghost visit
…
"Xinji Porridge Shop reopens with a big reward, two copper coins for a portion of porridge with pickles!"
Ah Xing listened to the words shouted by the waiter opposite, and subconsciously tightened the hand holding the towel, and the veins popped out. His porridge stall only sold three copper coins per serving, and the grand opening guest opposite him was one less than him, so he was immediately attracted
Customers who were supposed to come to the porridge shop flocked to the restaurant, but the Xingji porridge stall was empty.
Looking at the bustling crowds across the street, Ah Xing sat alone in front of the stall in a daze. He had opened the stall for almost an hour, but not a single customer came to buy porridge.
"Axing, how is business?"
At this time, a voice came from one side. Axing looked up and saw Brother Lin coming out of the alley and walking to the stall to ask.
"Boss He has opened a new store opposite. Today, he is offering a big reward. A portion of porridge comes with pickles for two copper coins. The customers are all attracted to it. I haven't even sold a single portion!"
Ah Xing replied listlessly, and Brother Lin couldn't help but feel a little angry and defended him.
"It's true, Boss He. If he had told you that he was going to open a store opposite, I wouldn't have advised you to buy this stall!"
Brother Lin looked at Ah Xing and said with some guilt. The news he had heard before was just that Boss He was planning to open a new store, but he didn't expect that he would open it opposite the original stall. No wonder he changed hands just for a big ocean.
"It's okay, Brother Lin. The big promotion is only for a day or two. When the opening rush is over, the price should go back up."
"By the way, Brother Lin, have you eaten yet? I'll get you some porridge to take home to eat."
"no, I'm fine!"
"Why are you so polite? It's ready."
Axing couldn't help but pack up a portion of porridge for Brother Lin to take. It looked like there would be no business tonight, but fortunately the business was pretty good in the past few days. Even if he didn't sell it today, he wouldn't lose money.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and other stalls on the street were gradually removed. It seemed that in an instant, the entire lively night market became deserted. Looking at the pot full of porridge, A Xing was also a little worried, and took a look
Tianzi murmured to himself.
"Stay open for a while, then close the stall if there are no customers."
Ah Xing sat in front of the stall and held his chin in a daze. This time and again, it was the third day of the night before he knew it. At this time, even the Xinji store opposite was closed, and the street was deserted. Ah Xing looked at
The empty street sighed and prepared to close the stall.
"Brother, is there any more porridge?"
As if hearing the sound of nature, Ah Xing suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Unexpectedly, a woman came to the stall with a bamboo basket in her hand and looked at him expectantly.
"Yes, yes! How many copies do you want?"
Ah Xing quickly put down what he was doing and opened the lid to reveal the boiling porridge water inside.
"Look, it's still warm!"
"I want a thank you, so use this."
The woman took out a porcelain bowl from the basket and handed it to Ah Xing. After Ah Xing took it, he filled a bowl full of it for her.
"Thank you, how much is it?"
"Three coppers."
Ah Xing held out three fingers and said, and then he saw the woman take out three copper coins and hand them to him. But after the woman left, Ah Xing threw the copper coins into the money jar but there was no sound at all. He felt something was wrong.
I walked over and took a look. I didn't know when the copper plate I just received had turned into several pieces of paper.
"Ah... I waited all night to place an order, but a ghost came to my door!"
"It's better to give money to dead people, okay!"
Axing looked at the direction in which the woman left, and there was no trace of her. Although he was not very good at Taoism, the strange sight of the copper plate turning into paper in front of his eyes naturally made him know that the woman just now was a ghost, and secretly thought it was bad luck.
Besides, the more Asing thought about it, the angrier he became, so he even picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board without even caring about the stall, and quickly chased in the direction where the female ghost disappeared.
Walking to the alley where the female ghost entered, I followed the female ghost all the way to an abandoned house.
The house has been abandoned for an unknown period of time. The roof and door have long since collapsed. There are only two broken walls and two stone lions left at the door. Watching the female ghost figure float in, Ah Xing followed lightly with a knife.
Up.
After entering, I saw that the inside was overgrown with grass, and collapsed bricks were scattered everywhere. Only the side room on the side was relatively intact, and the light in the room was reflected. A Xing leaned against the wall and looked in sideways.
I saw a female ghost carrying porridge and feeding an old woman.
"two?"
"It's definitely okay to kill people with a sword, but it's not okay to kill a ghost with a sword."
Ah Xing looked at the sharp blade and muttered in a low voice, looking around carefully with his eyes, and then he saw a willow tree in the house that suddenly lit up.
"Willow trees can fight ghosts!"
Azing, who was so angry that he didn't even think about whether he was an opponent or not, ran to the willow tree and chopped it with his knife. Soon, a fresh willow branch appeared in his hand.
He squatted and slowly approached the side room. At this time, the female ghost was making a fire outside and cooking something. The distance between Ah Xing and her was only three or four meters. He was seen lowering his body along a small section of the broken wall.
near.
"Crack!"
Ah Xing's figure froze. It turned out that he had not paid attention to his steps just now and accidentally trampled a piece of tile to pieces. He was so frightened that he did not dare to make any other moves. He could only hide his body behind the broken wall as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the female ghost.
"Where's the ghost?"
After waiting for a moment, Ah Xing raised his head again and looked at the place where the female ghost was. The female ghost who was here just now had long since disappeared, leaving only a steaming earthen pot that was being burned by the stove.
Axing, who couldn't see the female ghost, immediately turned around and looked behind him, fearing that the female ghost would come out and attack him at this time. He looked around cautiously to find any trace of the female ghost, but unfortunately he still couldn't see the female ghost.
The entire abandoned house seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. Ah Xing couldn't help but tighten his right hand on the willow branch, and wrapped his left hand around one end of the willow branch and looked back towards the side room again.
Who would have thought that when he turned around, he would see the female ghost appearing in front of him, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but fall back, but soon he stood up again, holding the willow branch tightly with both hands and looking at the female ghost.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
The female ghost did not take advantage of the opportunity to harm Ah Xing. Instead, she waited for him to stabilize before asking.
"What are you here for? I'm here to fight ghosts!"
After Asing finished speaking, he hit the willow branch in his hand at the female ghost. Seeing the opportunity, the female ghost quickly dodged the oncoming willow branch and stepped back. A Xing waved the willow branch and pressed hard, and soon whipped the female ghost.
A burst of sparks erupted from the ghost's body. The female ghost screamed in pain, and her whole body was knocked up and then fell to the ground.
When Ah Xing was about to whip him again, he saw the female ghost flipping up from the ground to avoid his attack. Ah Xing reluctantly waved the willow branch to the wind, and the willow branch was waving around him. The female ghost was not close at all.
Can't reach him.
"Brother, listen to my explanation!"
"I won't listen to your nonsense. I'm going to beat you."
The female ghost looked anxious and wanted to explain to Ah Xing, but Ah Xing was filled with anger at this time and did not listen to her at all. Besides, even if he was a lowly person, he knew that most of the ghost's words were not trustworthy.
Fighting continued in the house, and the female ghost Ah Xing, who had a willow branch in hand, fell into the disadvantage again and again.
