Chapter 10 "Simple" is not simple
Let a thirteen-year-old boy dig up a skeleton in the dry well of an abandoned mansion on Halloween night! If you can get rid of all kinds of psychological barriers, this is really a "very simple" thing.
Wan Sheng took a deep breath and immediately eliminated the psychological barrier! What happened to Haunted Night? Even Liu Ergou and a few scoundrels dare to come out to make ghosts, how can they be inferior to them if they have great ambitions and abilities? What's more, with Sister Xiao Zhuo's protection, how dare ordinary imps find trouble for themselves? Then the rest is the operation.
Wan Sheng recalled the dry well and asked, "Sister, I remember that the dry well is more than three feet deep, and there are stones underneath, do you want to dig up those stones?" ”
Xiao Zhuo said in a deep voice: "My bones are not under those stones, dig up the stones and you will see a dry underground river channel, you can find it by crawling along the underground waterway for half a mile." ”
Wan Sheng was stunned: "So far? ”
Xiao Zhuo sighed: "Exactly! Back then, Hou Jing's rioters slaughtered the city in Jianye, and I didn't want to be humiliated, so I threw myself into the well, and then my body was washed away by the underground river. Then I found that the dead who threw themselves into the water were not easily summoned by the ghosts, so I became a lonely ghost trapped in the groundwater, and it was not until the last ten years that the underground river was diverted and dried up, and my soul was able to come out and swim. ”
Wan Sheng was suddenly stunned. I heard that the haunting of this abandoned house scared away the owner for more than ten years, and it turned out to be this reason. So the question is, a well with more than three zhang must be tied to a thick rope with more than three zhang to go up and down, but how can the embroidery workshop have this kind of rope? And digging stones also requires a hoe and pickaxe, and Wanshengjia can be regarded as a city person who doesn't farm land and doesn't mine, and there is no such thing!
Unless you go to the market tomorrow to buy it or borrow it from the neighborhood. Wan Sheng asked, "Sister Xiao Zhuo, we don't have the tools to enter the well at home, do we have to do it tonight?" Can't you wait for me to buy it tomorrow? ”
Xiao Zhuo sighed: "Halloween is the day when the ghost door is opened, since the local officials dare to open the door to release ghosts, it must be a great wish that the Jizo King Bodhisattva supreme mana monitoring, ordinary ghosts and ghost kings and the like will also know each other to give the Jizo King Bodhisattva a face and not do evil on this day, so although Halloween has many taboos, it is nothing more than too many ghosts on the street to bump into the evil, or some foolish ghosts encounter the noise of the foolish people to scare them, and there are not many cases of serious bloody crimes committed on the day of Halloween. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhuo's tone changed: "However, once Halloween passes, it will be unclear." Tonight I can promise you will be able to dig up my bones safely, but tomorrow, I will not be able to keep you safe even if you go to the cave during the day. And the strength of the ghost king Hou Jing is getting stronger and stronger day by day, tonight may be the last time he will give face to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and it will be unclear by this time next year. If you can't save me tonight, then I can only advise one sentence, your mother-in-law and grandson move, I don't know if you die elsewhere, anyway, it's not okay to die in Jianye. ”
How can a man with great ambition and extraordinary abilities be stumped by a rope and a pickaxe? Wan Sheng immediately said angrily: "Sister Xiao Zhuo, don't worry, I'll go to the neighborhood to borrow it immediately!" ”
Although the mother-in-law couldn't hear what Xiao Zhuo said, she also knew from her grandson's words that she was in trouble, so she couldn't help but be shocked: "Child, are you going to knock on the door in the middle of the night to borrow something?" ”
Wan Sheng smiled bitterly: "There is only one way!" ”
The mother-in-law sighed: "It's easy to talk about it normally, but everyone won't open the door tonight!" ”
Wan Sheng sighed: "How do you know if you don't try?" I went to find Zhang Orion at the gate of the city, he often went out of the city to catch wild boars, he had ropes and tools, and he was bold, he would dare to open the door. ”
The mother-in-law frowned and took out more than a dozen copper coins: "We actually have nothing to do with Zhang Orion, and we must still show it if we are troublesome." ”
Wan Sheng couldn't help but feel his heart sink. To be honest, Zhang Orion is really not very easy to talk to. People who are a little brave in this world have a little temper, and they are not very impatient with the attitude of the old, weak, sick and disabled. And there is another question, if he asks himself why he is borrowing something, how will he answer? Answer directly to collect the body? Isn't this a bad luck attack on a ghost night looking for him? But if he didn't answer, he would definitely think that he wanted to be a traitor, or he wouldn't borrow it. Is this really a problem?
Just as he was hesitating, the door was "knocked on the door" again.
Wan Sheng's heart was shocked, and he found a troublesome problem, this group of scoundrels will definitely hinder their own work! Wan Sheng asked, "Sister Xiao Zhuo, can you scare them away?" ”
Xiao Zhuo sighed: "It's definitely okay in the abandoned house, but it's not clear here." Geists don't usually stay far from bones, and it's a waste of effort for me to be here and talk to you so much. ”
It turns out that this is the reason why Sister Xiao Zhuo's body has become blurred! Wan Sheng frowned even more. No matter how bold these scoundrels are, they can't follow them into the haunted mansion on Halloween night, so they can trouble themselves at any time from borrowing a rope to entering the ruined mansion. It's normal to even beat yourself half to death and throw it into the waterway to feed Wang Ba, anyway, no one sees it.
The more Wan Sheng thought about it, the more he gritted his teeth with hatred. Could it be that his own great affairs are broken in the hands of a rope and a few scoundrels? If you have practiced divine skills early, why are you helpless against these scoundrels?
Rao's mother-in-law, who has always had ideas, also had nothing to do with the scoundrel, so she had to take out a few copper coins and sighed: "Child, many things have to be discussed, you can go out and discuss with them, or ask them for a favor?" ”
Wansheng frowned! Please scoundrel help? If it is done, with their ability to steal chickens and dogs, maybe the problem of this rope tool is not a problem! But the question is, will they have a discussion? Will they be able to afford these dozen copper coins if they eat and drink with Zhou Tong?
Normally, the more you ask them for help, the more they kick their nose in the face, right? The scoundrels only serve Zhou Tong, who can fight and have money, and there is no room for negotiation for those who can't fight and have no money and have offended their boss Zhou Tong.
Wan Sheng, who figured it out, shook his head dejectedly: "Unlikely! I offended their boss, and most of them came to be angry with the boss, and they didn't have to discuss. ”
At this moment, Xiao Zhuo spoke: "You can tell them that there is a pair of gold bracelets on my bones and ask them to help." If a pair of gold bracelets is not enough, a gold chain can also be added. ”
Wan Sheng frowned: "Gold bracelet? Gold chains? ”
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "If it's not enough, you can also say that there is a treasure box or something, and you can say anything if it is valuable." ”
Wan Sheng was a little confused: "Sister Xiao Zhuo was so rich when she was alive? ”
Xiao Zhuo smiled a little weirdly: "I'm afraid they don't have the courage to help." ”
Wan Sheng sighed: "Actually, as long as there are particularly valuable things, they should be negotiable, so I'll go out and talk to them now." ”
"Wait!" At this moment, the mother-in-law spoke: "This can't be done, they won't believe it!" ”
Wan Sheng was surprised: "Don't believe it? ”
The mother-in-law said in a deep voice: "If you were Liu Ergou, you would believe it when you heard someone say this?" ”
Wan Sheng frowned! Indeed, this Liu Ergou was having fun knocking on the door, but he saw through their tricks and ruined their interest, and suddenly asked them to help dig up the bones in the ghost house, this thing really shouldn't be too ghostly.
The mother-in-law said in a deep voice: "This matter has to be done in a different way, and they have to let them come over to help willingly, let's ......do this first."
