The old woman finished saying this with a melancholy look on her face, showing she was very helpless.
This person is already dead, and he can still be driven out.
How vicious is this person?
Is this a human being? Or a ghost?
I curiously asked:
"Auntie, where did that evil guy come from? He's so vicious.
And they kicked you out?"
The old woman listened to my question and shook her head.
The old man interjected from the side:
"We don't know either.
All I know is that he is very fierce and wants to eat babies.
My wife and I are both afraid that one day he will eat us too.
I can only hide far away.
Now that I don’t have any offerings, I just want to buy some warm clothes and hit the road to my wife’s parents’ house.”
As soon as I heard this, my face instantly darkened.
He frowned and said:
"Want to eat babies? That villain is just like you, a breeze?"
The old man and the old woman nodded.
I don’t want to go into details, I look rather scared.
But I took a breath and thought a little.
According to what this old couple said.
This evil man who robbed their old house is not only vicious but also eats children. Isn't this an evil spirit?
If so, that's really good news for me.
These days, I am worrying about where to buy lamp oil to increase my longevity.
Now it seems that I have a goal...
I thought to myself and made a plan.
At the same time, the old man and the old woman also selected their clothes.
Pointing to the two black shrouds on the counter, he said:
"Brother, please sell these two shrouds to us!"
When I heard them speak, I came back to my senses:
"well!"
After saying that, I took out two shrouds from the cabinet.
The old couple held it in their hands and looked around, looking quite satisfied.
I am more interested in the evil spirits that robbed their old house.
He continued to ask:
"Uncle, aunt, how about this?
You lead the way while I find a way to deal with the bullies who robbed your old house?"
But who knew I had just finished speaking.
The old couple's expressions changed in fright, and they waved their hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, little brother.
We just want to live peacefully and return to our parents' home in eastern Sichuan.
I don’t want to cause trouble, I don’t want to cause trouble.”
"Yes! We bought the shrouds and left.
We can't afford to offend that evil person..."
The old man agreed, and hurriedly took out two Gui Shou coins from his body and placed them on the counter.
"Brother, we don't have to choose anymore, just these two clothes."
While talking, the old couple looked frightened.
They are very afraid of the vicious bully who robbed their old house.
Seeing them so scared, I was even more sure that this ghost was not a good thing.
But I didn't force it on them. After all, they also have the right to make their own choices.
Just nodded:
"All right!"
After saying that, he took out the brazier from under the incense table and placed it in front of him.
He twisted up the two shrouds again, lit them with a lighter, and threw them directly into the brazier.
The shroud quickly burned with dark green flames.
After a while, it burned to ashes.
Seeing that the shroud was burned to ashes, the old man and the old woman reached out to grab the brazier.
There, it was clear that only black ashes were left.
But when they reached out to grab it, they pulled out two brand-new shrouds.
And he put the shroud on his body in front of me.
But also each other, button up each other's buttons:
"Hey! Put on new clothes, you feel much warmer."
"Yes, old man, I haven't worn any new clothes in these years. Do you think I look good in them?"
Seeing that the old couple were very satisfied with their new shrouds, I asked again:
"Uncle, aunt, one last question.
Where is your old house at the foot of Nanshan Mountain?"
The old man buttoned up and looked at me in surprise:
"Brother, do you, do you really want to deal with that evil person?"
The old woman was also surprised and added:
"Brother, forget it!
That evil man is very cruel, and it’s not worth it if he loses his life!”
I glanced at the ghost longevity coin bracelet on my left wrist.
The color has turned to grayish brown.
When the ghost money turns completely gray, it means that the lamp oil I have accumulated now is used up.
In my current state, if I don't get new lamp oil, my life will be longer.
I can't live for more than twenty days. I'm struggling on the edge of life and death. Why am I still afraid of him?
Besides, even if I can't deal with it, don't I still have a master?
Just smiled:
"You don't have to worry about this, I have a sense of discretion.
But if you still want to stay in the old house, you can choose to show me the way."
After listening to my words, the old couple looked at each other solemnly.
He turned around again and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Finally, I turned around and saw the old man speaking to me cautiously:
"That little brother, we decided to go back to Sichuan.
I, it’s not that we can’t trust you!
It’s just!
I have stayed here for a long time and want to change my stay.
Our old house is in the ravine to the west of Nanshan Cemetery.
If you really go, be careful!
That man is really fierce..."
After saying that, he didn’t wait for my answer and just handed me his hand.
After saying "thank you", I grabbed the old woman next to me and wanted to leave...
The old couple probably still didn't trust me and were afraid of the evil spirit, so they just wanted to leave.
I don't want to force anyone to do anything.
But I felt that this old couple was nice, so when I saw that they were about to leave, I took out a stack of yellow paper from under the counter, lit it and threw it into the brazier.
"Uncle, aunt, you take this money.
It may be useful to cross the bridge on the way..."
The old couple was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He reached out and picked up the paper money burned in the brazier.
"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!"
"Brother, good people are rewarded.
If I really want to go to our old house and meet that evil person, I must be careful about that evil person's belly.
We, the couple, said goodbye and said goodbye..."
After saying that, the old couple hurriedly left the shop.
Walk along the road towards Laohuang Mountain.
After a while, it disappeared from sight.
After the old couple left, I closed the door.
I blew out the candles, turned on the lights again, and put away the brazier.
But in my heart, I was already silently planning...
