According to Old Man Qian's request, we must get the three stacks of "marked coins" that are said to have been personally blessed by the ghosts of You Mansion after 7 o'clock tonight.

Although these ghost coins are also paper money, they cost Lao Chen 3,000 yuan.

Although the money was not much, Lao Chen was still very distressed.

He was looking forward to burning the Marked Underworld Coin so that he could rent out the house as soon as possible so that he could regain his health as soon as possible!!!

I won’t say much about what happened after that. Anyway, it’s all insignificant daily life.

Waiting until about 7 o'clock in the night, Lao Chen and Er Miao, I went to Old Man Qian's shop again, and Old Man Qian handed us a black plastic bag.

This kind of simple packaging seems completely unworthy of its price?

Lao Chen felt that he had been tricked, so he immediately opened the plastic bag and took a look. Sure enough, there were three stacks of paper money inside.

I also lowered my head and took a look. To be honest, it was no different from an ordinary stack of one or two yuan paper money.

Lao Chen was also very depressed and picked up a stack directly from it. There should be a hundred cards in this stack, which was quite a lot.

I took a closer look and found that there was indeed a slight difference.

That is, there is some red paint in the corner of the stack of paper money.

It looks like you took this stack of paper money, dipped it into a paint bowl, and then took it out again. This is the effect.

Regardless of what the red paint is, Old Man Qian was right anyway, these banknotes were indeed marked.

Lao Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he put the paper money away religiously, then said goodbye to Old Man Qian, and we drove straight to the intersection...

…

It only took 30 minutes to get to the small triangular bungalow.

It's a sunny day today, and it's getting dark relatively slowly.

Old Man Qian had told us before that we must wait until it is completely dark before we start burning, otherwise it will not have any effect.

We waited patiently until 8 o'clock, when we could still see some glimmer of light in the sky in the distance.

Lao Chen was more cautious. He said to me: "Let's not be in a hurry. Just wait. In another 20 minutes, it will definitely be dark."

By about 8:30, it was indeed completely dark, and it was completely night time.

Me, Lao Chen and Er Miao then jumped out of the car, walked to the triangular house, chose a corner, and started burning paper money.

There are actually many techniques for burning paper money. Older people say that paper money must be completely burned before it can be taken away by ghosts. If it is not burned completely and some paper edges are left, it is equivalent to burning it in vain.

Lao Chen is older than me, so he must know this skill better, so he twisted all the paper money, lit it from one corner, and the flames began to spread upwards...

This action is similar to what Fa Ge does when he lights a cigarette with US dollars in "A Better Tomorrow"!

According to the old man Qian's instructions, we burned a stack of ghost coins for one jiao. Soon, we burned two jiao in a row, and there was still one jiao left.

The last corner pointed straight towards the road, and Lao Chen was a little worried.

Why?

Because it happens to be the Qingming Festival recently, the urban management department prohibits citizens from burning paper money outdoors. If the fire here is seen by a passing driver, how can we explain this if there are such troublesome people and call the police?

Now there is only the last corner left, so we are very careful. Lao Chen asked me and Ermiao to stand behind him, close together, without leaving any gaps in the middle, so as to block the fire as much as possible and prevent passing vehicles.

see.

I think what Lao Chen said is right, and he did the same thing.

So Ermiao and I stood side by side, half a meter away from Lao Chen, with our faces facing Lao Chen and our backs facing the road.

Lao Chen had already started to burn it, and he was very careful, deliberately placing the Ming coins very low.

I don’t know why, but all three of us felt like we were guilty of being a thief!

However……

Just when the Ming coins in Lao Chen's hand were about to burn out...

Right now!

Sudden!

A hand appeared in the darkness, stretched out from behind me, and patted my left shoulder gently!

ah……

This moment, it really scared me to a great extent!!!

Because my whole body moved suddenly, the second cat was also shocked. The two of us almost turned our heads to look...

Then I saw a person standing behind me!

right!

He is a person, not a ghost!

But after seeing this person, I was quite shocked!

This man is relatively thin and wears a black baseball cap on his head. The brim of the hat covers half of his face. All that can be seen is that there is a huge aquiline nose on the narrow face, which looks a bit like a penguin...

…

I wipe...

Just by looking at this nose, I recognized him at a glance. Isn't this person Edward?!

What we are most afraid of now is urban management. As long as it is not urban management, we are not afraid!

Although Edward's appearance was enough to surprise me, he wouldn't care about us burning paper money outdoors, would he?

The paper money in Lao Chen's hand had been burned. He heard some movement behind him and turned around...

After seeing Edward at a glance, Old Chen subconsciously took a step back, as if he felt that the other person was in danger.

I don't feel any fear towards Edward. After all, I have met him several times and this guy has never made any big moves.

"Why is it you?!" I asked in a deep voice.

"Haha..." There was no malice on Edward's face, he just crossed his arms and smiled.

"You...what are you doing here?" I asked again.

"I came here to find you, of course..." Edward replied.

"What are you doing to us?!" I continued to ask.

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing. I just want to discuss a business deal with you..." Edward said again.

hiss……

Edward said he wants to discuss business with us. It's really strange. What business can I have with him?!

I immediately asked him: "What business can I have with you?!"

"Haha, I didn't say I'd talk to you," Edward glanced at me, then looked at Old Chen, "I mainly wanted to talk to Manager Chen..."

When Lao Chen heard that he was the focus, he suddenly became nervous!

I don't know why, but he seems to be rather afraid of Edward.

"You, you, you... what are you talking to me about?!" Old Chen asked Edward nervously.

"Manager Chen, naturally I want to rent a house from you," Edward shrugged, "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush, let's just say it directly, I want to rent a house from you..."

Lao Chen was not stupid and asked cautiously: "Rent a house? To rent a house, go to the store and find me. What are you doing here?!"
