Chapter 39: Ghost Market Observations

With this thin booklet, we had a smooth journey, no ramblings, and soon found a place to live.

It was a row of barracks, some of which had been converted into temporary shelters, and it was nothing more than the bricks on the windows that had been torn down and roughly cleaned.

We came here with a booklet, and soon someone met us at the gate of the barracks, led us into the barracks, and when we really entered the barracks, we found that there were really a lot of people, but I felt that the people here were more or less weird, or indifferent, or wild, and even I saw someone put a bowl and ask for money.

In line with the principle of trying not to cause trouble, my eyes didn't stay on these people for long, I don't know the people in the circle, but Shen Xingyou told me that most of the people here have a very strange temper, maybe they have worn masks for a long time in the world, and when they come to this place where all people are in the circle, they are not depressed at all.

Sometimes your gaze lingers on him for a little longer, and it will be seen as a provocation.

I didn't come to cause trouble, of course, I paid special attention, but I just swept around, and I was taken to the place where we were staying without squinting.

This is a relatively marginal dwelling, open the door, but also tidy and clean, in addition to a tank filled with water, there are two simple beds, piled with quilts.

There are no scruples between men and women here, in short, they are all together, they are arranged in one place, Shen Xing doesn't mind, puts down his backpack, and says: "My range of activities is here, I won't go into the ghost market this time, you don't mind if I have a bed alone as a girl, right?" ”

"Of course I don't mind." Brother Chengxin smiled gently, in fact, Shen Xing, this girl is already very good, she made a fuss without showing that she was in the same room with a man, which embarrassed us, how could we mind her?

After several days of running, we were a little tired after entering the house, and after a simple wash with a small amount of water, Shen Xing rested on the bed with his clothes, and Brother Chengxin and I obviously won't rest.

According to the rules of the ghost market, before the official opening of the ghost market, insiders are also allowed to trade with each other, and the venue is also deliberately provided.

After a simple tidying up, we were about to go out, Shen Xing lay on the bed, took out a book, and said to us lazily: "Help me make a box lunch when you come back, don't you mind?" ”

"Come on, beauty, don't you mind, shouldn't we cover your food these days?" Brother Chengxin said with a gentle smile, I always feel that Brother Chengxin has a good impression of Shen Xing, but this kind of thing, Brother Chengxin doesn't say it, where do I ask a lot.

Walking out of the door, Brother Chengxin habitually pulled me again, this action is easier to misunderstand, and there were a few searching glances around immediately, but Brother Chengxin didn't care, and said to me: "Do you feel like going to college?" Electricity cuts, go to the cafeteria to eat. ”

"Come on, there is no limit to water in the university, here, when the water in the house runs out, I can buy another 200 yuan a bucket. And do you dare to sell the food in the university cafeteria for 50 yuan a piece? I shook my head.

"That is, the electricity exceeds 5 yuan a kilowatt-hour. I think there are probably a few thousand people here, and the two organizations that organized the ghost market are quite rich. Brother Chengxin also sighed.

Then, the two of us didn't talk about it anymore, ordinary people thought that the masters should live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, treating money as dung, and showing a fairy demeanor between gestures, in fact, if they could, they should really be pulled here to see, there are really few normal people.

People who are in contact with the heavens, and there are too many ghosts and gods, how can their world be normal? This kind of mind cultivation is much more difficult than ordinary people.

The place where we were trading was not far from where we were, and we walked there in ten minutes, and as soon as I got here, I saw a lot of people gathered here, about eighty or ninety of them, gathered in front of the iron gate, and I didn't know what they were doing.

"This wall looks like it was built temporarily." Brother Chengxin said something unintentionally, and I noticed that there was really a temporary wall here, and I don't know what it looks like inside.

Before I could answer Brother Chengxin's words, I was suddenly pulled by someone, I turned my head and saw that it was a person I didn't know, who looked like a roe deer, but compared with ordinary people, a pair of eyes were bright and bright.

"Who are you?" I asked, a little confused.

"Little brother, it costs 1,000 yuan to enter here, do you think it's easy for me to wade through mountains and rivers to come here? I'm poor, lend me some money, one or two hundred is not too little, three or five hundred is not too much, thank you, thank you. This is what this man said to me as soon as he opened his mouth.

I can't cry or laugh a little, and the person who dares to set the bowl in the yard is not playing with personality, is it really begging?

Seeing my expression, this person was very anxious and said: "Little brother, I'm not bragging, you go and inquire about my second Wu, I'm very good at catching ghosts." But you know that it's not easy to catch ghosts now, someone has met it, it's unlucky, and I don't know if I have met it, and you need connections to get into the rich circle, and you need money for this practice. I can't afford to come here. ”

This roe deer rat is very good at catching ghosts? Maybe ordinary people won't believe it, but I believe it at once, when he was talking to me, he made a gesture with his hand, which is a necessary starting style when performing a difficult spell, how can ordinary liars understand? Besides, it's unlikely that a scammer will be infiltrated here.

But I didn't rush to pay for it, it's impossible for people to communicate with each other here, after all, the Tao is not the same, I just asked: "So the people around here don't have the money to go in?" If you don't have the money to get in, why are you here? ”

"It's not that there is no money to go in, it's that I am reluctant to get in, after all, the ghost market is held at 12 o'clock tonight, and now the resources are getting less and less, what good things can this person and people find in their transactions? But after all, the ghost market is only held once every six months, so who knows if someone will come up with something good? We gather here, and if we can find someone to get some money, we will go in, and if we can't find it, we will go outside and keep the news, and see if there are any good things that have not been sold, so we will go and find the person in private, maybe we have exactly what that person needs? As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered to me, "Private transactions are not in accordance with the rules here, because which organization is not going to scrape it hard?" In a ghost market, they can find tens of millions, and they can divide it up enough resources for cultivation. So, as long as you don't go too far, it's okay to trade privately. ”

It seems that this Wu Lao Er is quite aware of the rules, and the news he told me is also useful, although I don't know what the concept of this so-called good thing is, but I still touched two hundred yuan and handed it to Wu Lao Er.

After all, I'm not very nervous about money, and my main purpose here is news.

Wu Lao Er accepted the money and said to me very happily: "Today you are still the first master to give me money, if you meet again in the future, if you have anything to ask, just look for me." ”

After speaking, Wu Lao Er was about to leave, but I stopped him: "I have another question for you, you just said that I was the first person to give you money, is there still a lot of rich people in this ghost market?" You don't look for them? ”

"Bah, looking for them? All surrounded by those fortune tellers, feng shui, and those who can gather wealth and fortune and borrow longevity, where is my turn to catch ghosts? Besides, there are many ghost catchers who are better than me. Little brother, you have the ability, you can make friends, not to mention what it is like in this ghost market, even if you go out, you can also have a circle of contacts to do business. "Wu Lao Er simply knows everything and says everything.

I smiled and didn't say anything, and suddenly remembered the simple notebook, which was given to me by Uncle Wang, which recorded a lot of his customers, and he also took me to meet a lot, and now I know what a valuable property he gave me, and I am afraid that many people are rushing to ask for this notebook in the ghost market.

Thinking of this, I was a little distracted, I miss Master so much, I miss my uncles so much, I miss Uncle Hui and Grandma Ling Qing so much, this is the first time in these years that I have admitted that I miss them so positively.

Until Brother Chengxin urged me next to me: "Go in!" "I just came to my senses.

When I was paying the money at the door, Brother Chengxin asked me: "Chengyi, why are your eyes red?" ”

"Oh, I guess I lost an eyelash and it was itchy just now."
