Chapter 40: The Ghost Lingers
The man in the Chinese costume picked up the painting, looked at it, only felt a little familiar, and muttered: "It seems that there is such a person......
Then, he raised his voice and said to Uncle Liu: "You go, I will give you the news, let's see each other less." ”
Uncle Liu was aggrieved in his heart, dog, Lao Tzu helps you make money, you still dislike Lao Tzu, why don't you dislike the money Lao Tzu gave you.
But he still has a smile on his face, and the one who laughs is called a cheap, and his back never dares to straighten up.
He clasped his hands together and bowed: "Adult, the little one will leave." ”
". The man in fancy clothes waved his hand and buried his head in the chest of the woman next to him, making the woman giggle.
Uncle Liu's expression remained unchanged, and he hooked his waist and withdrew from the door.
All the way downstairs, I met the bustard at the door, paid the money, then went to the deck, and jumped into a small boat.
On the small boat, Brother Xiaodao greeted him: "Godfather, how is it?"
"I haven't answered yet, but adults seem to be impressed. ”
The boatman rowed the boat, and the boat quietly left the boat and rowed towards the shore.
At the bow of the boat, Uncle Liu held his beard with one hand and the strap behind the strap of the other hand, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Recently, let's not mess with him, wait for the news to come down." ”
A few days later, Uncle Liu got the news and fell silent.
It was early in the morning.
Ghost Cry practiced a trip to the knife technique, and another trip to the boxing technique, even in the middle of winter, he was sweating profusely, and there was smoke on the top of his head.
After taking a shower, I went back to the house to change my clothes.
As soon as I got dressed, I heard Cai Wei's girl shouting: "Big brother ghost, it's time to eat!"
After a few days here, Caiwei is no longer so restrained, showing some youthful vitality.
She put the pickles and steamed buns on the table, and then hopped back to the kitchen to serve porridge.
The two were eating when they heard crying outside.
This old ghost is really haunted.
When I walked out of the door, I saw the old ghost sitting on the side of the street outside the courtyard crying. The wind blew and the dust kicked up, making him discouraged, and on his cheeks, two dirty tear stains, made him look especially pitiful.
Some people gathered around, pointing and pointing.
The ghost cried and looked at him with a cold face, but the old ghost Lin turned a blind eye and just cried, as if he had been greatly wronged.
He was waiting for the ghost to cry and speak, as long as the ghost cried two words related to "don't cry", he would hit the snake with the stick.
Cai Wei girl hurriedly walked out of the door, and was pressed back by the ghost crying: "Don't come out." ”
The ghost cried and walked to the gate of the courtyard, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and just looked at Old Ghost Lin.
The narrow eyes are a little black and white. Cold and hard cheeks, no emotional fluctuations.
It's cold, the ground is frosty, the puddles are frozen, and with the breathing, the clouds of water vapor are filled in front of you, which is a unique winter scene.
Old Ghost Lin only wore a single coat, wearing straw sandals, his whole body was bruised from the cold, his fingers and toes were swollen like carrots, and he shivered in the cold wind.
He cried for a while, feeling a cold, tearing pain on his face, so he looked up and peeked at the ghost crying.
Seeing the ghost crying there like a sculpture, he began to cry again.
But this time, I couldn't cry anymore.
At this moment, Ghost Cry spoke: "It's useless for you to cry here. ”
Ghost Cry showed a mocking smile on his face: "The people present are all neighbors, what kind of virtue you have, everyone knows, listen carefully, what are they talking about?"
Say anything, you don't have to listen to it, you know, it's definitely not a good thing to say, and it's aimed at Old Ghost Lin.
The neighbors present were more or less blessed by the ghost cry.
Others don't say it, since the ghost cries here and has a reputation, there is no one, the skin-throwing hooligans dare to come here to squeeze and extort, and for this alone, they will cry to the ghost.
And what about Old Ghost Lin?
It can't be called a god who hates demons, but it is also disgusting.
If he just drinks and gambles, the key is that after he has no money, he will steal chickens and dogs, and whose chickens and dogs will be stolen?
As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, but he just takes the grass by the nest to gnaw, why, afraid of being killed.
It is not uncommon for someone to be caught stealing, and to be killed by the public.
Stealing the surrounding neighbors, although it will lower the reputation, the stolen people will also accuse Sang of scolding Huai, and they will be beaten up if they are caught red-handed, but at least they will not be killed.
In contrast, he naturally chose to do the same.
Now, though, the consequences of what he did are coming out.
The neighbors around him pointed at him, and some sneered.
Old Ghost Lin was hungry and was frozen for a long time, but when he got this reply, his heart was cold.
Looking at the pointing and pointing of the people around him, coupled with the cold wind, he couldn't stand it anymore, Lin Lao got up in embarrassment, his heart was ruthless, Lao Tzu came to you every day to cry, I don't believe you can bear it.
However, the next ghost cried that made him feel like he was struck by lightning: "You have been crying for three days, come back tomorrow, Lao Tzu will twist you to the yamen, maybe you will not be able to come out if you go in." ”
Old Ghost Lin trembled, he didn't expect the ghost to cry so ruthlessly, isn't he a good person?
He knew that what the devil cried was probably true.
For a little money, he can be sent to prison.
The way is really simple, just slander him and steal other people's things.
Life in a cell is not easy, and if the devil cries and the silver is put on the head of the cell, he can die inside.
He never dared to gamble, although he was already a bad life, he still spared his life.
Drove away the old ghost Lin, and the ghost cried and returned to the house and continued to finish breakfast.
During the meal, Cai Wei wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't say it after all.
When she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the ghost cried and said, "Next time he comes again, when I am not at home, I will send two steamed buns, after all, it is your father." ”
Cai Wei smiled happily: "Got it, big brother ghost." ”
"By the way, don't talk to him, or he'll kick his nose in the face. ”
"Hmm. Cai Wei jumped up and walked to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.
"I'll be back late at noon. Ghost Cry said loudly.
"Got it!" Cai Wei's voice came from the kitchen.
Ghost Cry shook his head, walked to the yard and whistled, "Let's go, take you out for a walk." ”
The big black horse, who was originally lazy, ran over happily, and Ghost Cried took his rope and walked out.
First, I went to see my brother-in-law, and when it was almost noon, I went to the vegetable market again, and asked for half a sheep, and some vegetables, which I hung on horseback.
The big black horse sneezed in disgust and snorted twice in dissatisfaction.
Ghost Cry ignored it, and when he passed by the cloth shop, he bought another piece of cloth, and then he bought a couplet, and then a delicate hairpin.
When I got home, it was past noon.
There is no way, there are too many people in the market today, and people are crowded, and it is not easy for ghosts to cry out.
Cai Wei was cleaning, and when she saw that Ghost Cry had brought so many things, she happily greeted her.
"No, for you. Ghost Cry took out the hairpin, this thing looks exquisite, but it doesn't cost much money (Ghost Cry thinks), just a small gift for Cai Wei.
Well, the main thing is that Ghost Cry looks at the chopsticks on her head, and always feels unpleasant.
"Ahh
"Hmm. Cai Wei hurriedly took the hairpin, pulled out the chopsticks on her head, inserted the hairpin, and asked with a blushing face, "Is it good-looking?"
Ghost Cry nodded, much more pleasing to the eye.
"Thank you, Big Brother. Cai Wei jumped up and kissed the ghost and cried, and ran into the house with the cloth in her arms excitedly.
Ghost Cry touched his cheek, then took off the New Year's goods on horseback and walked towards the house.
The big black horse rolled his eyes, shook his muscles, and ran lazily back to the stable, lying down.
Hey, it's so tiring to stand, and after standing so big since I was a kid for so many years, I found that it was so comfortable to lie on my stomach.
