Chapter 8 Copper Bell

I was thinking wildly when the bus just arrived and stopped.

Because it happened to be the stop closest to the Grand Zen Monastery, I simply got off the bus.

There are many shops outside the courtyard wall of the Grand Zen Monastery, both large stores and small stalls.

Here, you can buy all kinds of weird and weird gadgets, nothing you can't imagine but nothing you can't buy.

What kind of incense candles, paper money, what kind of talisman statues, and various magical weapons...

Walking along the pedestrian street to the end, I found the smallest stall. I guess the prices here should be cheaper than those in big stores.

After standing in front of the stall for a while, the boss took the initiative and asked me: "Young man, what do you need?"

I didn't know what to say for a while, and I started scratching my hair without realizing it.

The boss was a dry old man in his sixties. He glanced at me and immediately showed an expression of "I understand very well."

"Did you and your girlfriend fail to take protective measures and had to have an abortion, so you've been having nightmares lately?"

"No, no, I don't even have a girlfriend, so why do I have an abortion?" I quickly shook my head and waved my hands and said, "However, I have been having nightmares lately. Is there anything you have here that can protect me?"

"Young man, you have come to the right place. Although my stall is small, the things I have here have been opened and will definitely work. Just wait..."

After saying that, the boss pulled out a broken cardboard box from under the stall, with dust on it about an inch thick.

Opening the cardboard box, he took out a bunch of copper bells, some large and some small.

"You buy a copper bell and hang it at the door. It will ensure that no dirty things will dare to enter your house..." The boss said to me confidently.

"How do you sell these copper bells? How much does one cost?"

"They range from 800 to 8 yuan. The bigger the product, the more expensive it is. Of course, the more expensive it is, the more effective it is!"

Looking carefully, the largest copper bell is as big as a water bowl, and the smallest one is only as big as a thumbnail.

I decisively bought the smallest one, which cost 8 yuan.

The boss didn't say anything. He took off the smallest copper bell and handed it to me. He smiled and said, "Don't look at this small one. It will definitely work, but the effect will definitely not be as good as the big one. You go back and try it first."

If it works, you can come back and buy a bigger one..."

I took the copper bell handed over by the boss and found that there was a very thin red thread tied to it, which looked like a keychain.

After shaking it, it can make a clear ringing sound, but the sound is very small.

Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, just have peace of mind!

I returned to the bus stop and waited for a while before getting on the bus. The bus headed towards where I lived.

After getting off the bus and passing by Ermiao's canteen, I was spotted by Ermiao again.

Ermeow came out from behind the counter, walked towards me, and asked, "Where were you just now?"

I thought to myself, do you care where I go?

Seeing that I ignored him, Ermiao took two packs of instant noodles from the counter and handed them to me: "Do you want any more instant noodles?"

Only then did I remember that I hadn’t eaten all day, so I took instant noodles and paid the bill with my mobile phone this time.

Ermiao seemed to be unwilling to give up and asked me: "Brother, don't be afraid if something happens. Find someone to crack it. Maybe you can spend some money to settle it. Don't hold on!"

After taking a look at Ermiao, I suddenly remembered something...

When I hurriedly got into the taxi, Ermiao kept chasing me. Could it be that the fat driver had bad eyesight and mistook Ermiao for a woman?

If it was just the fat driver who saw it wrong, maybe the person following me was not Jasmine?

However, a tall and thick-looking Ermiao can still be seen as a woman. Isn’t the look in the fat driver’s eyes too bad?

With this look in his eyes, can he still drive a taxi?



When I returned to the rental house, I turned on the light, took out the small copper bell from my pocket, thought about it, and hung it on the door handle.

This day, I was so exhausted that I collapsed!

I haven't eaten anything for almost the whole day, but now I'm holding my breath, tired and scared, and can't eat anything at all.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, I didn't want to move at all.

Just like that, I lay on the bed with the light on, and fell asleep...

I don’t know if the copper bell hanging on the door played a role, but I didn’t have any nightmares this time.

I don’t know how long I slept for...

I heard a crisp sound in my ears, like the sound of metal hitting the ground!

The sound wasn't loud, so it didn't make me too nervous?

I didn't sleep well at first. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the room was still the same. However, when I moved my eyes to the door, I found that the copper bell had fallen to the ground?!

What's going on?!

I got off the bed, walked to the door, knelt down and picked up the copper bell.

Upon closer inspection, I found that the red wire on the top was broken, so the bell fell to the ground and made a sound.

It seems that the quality of something that costs 8 yuan is really not that good!

I was about to go back to bed and go back to sleep, but after taking two steps, my whole body suddenly felt excited!

How could the red wire on the bell break even though it was so fine?!

Could it be because something is trying to break into my house?!

Thinking about it this way...

I got nervous!

No sleepiness at all in an instant!

I quickly walked to the door. The door was very old and the landlord had not installed a peephole. If I wanted to see if anyone was outside, I had to open the door.

At this time, I was quite hesitant and wanted to open the door, but I was afraid because I was afraid that I would see something I didn’t want to see when I opened the door...

Finally, I gritted my teeth and opened the door...

However……

As soon as the door opened, I saw that there was actually a person standing in the dark corridor!!!

If I hadn't been mentally prepared in advance, I would have been scared to death!

However, the person at the door is not a woman, but a slightly fat man?

After taking a closer look, I recognized him. Isn't he Mr. Chen, the manager of the real estate agency?

"Manager Chen? Why is it you?!" I asked nervously.

In the darkness, Lao Chen nodded: "Yes, it's me..."

"Why didn't you knock on the door?!" I asked again.

"I knocked, but you didn't hear it. Maybe you were asleep," Lao Chen explained when he saw my alert look on my face. "I didn't dare to knock too loudly for fear of waking up the neighbors..."

"oh!"

"By the way, I heard that you came to the store to look for me in the afternoon. Is this the case?"

Now that Lao Chen asked this, my memories came flooding back, and I remembered everything at once.

I really want to find Lao Chen and ask him about the Ming coins!

"Manager Chen, you're here just in time. Come in. I have something to ask you..."

I turned around and went to the table to get the envelope, but Lao Chen stood at the door and refused to enter the room.

He said to me at the door: "It's too late. Don't disturb the neighbors by talking in the house. Besides, I also have something to talk to you about. How about... you come to my car to talk in detail. I'll go downstairs first."

, waiting for you in the car..."

After saying that, Lao Chen turned around and walked downstairs without consulting me.
